[QUOTE="novaman, post: 711371, member: 2744"] I've bred several heifers @ 14 months with no problems. In fact with my Holstein heifers I target 13 months if I can get enough size on them. All the research I've seen shows 22-24 months of age at calving has no negative effects on future production plus you get that girl producing for you rather than costing you by feeding her for a longer period before she is productive. JMO By the way bigbull, 30 month old heifers would be bred at roughly 21 months, not 18. [/QUOTE]
