[QUOTE="dun, post: 52308, member: 34"] I agree that it works that way, but remember that her daddy has some influence on that pelvic size. And what a mature cow does and what a heifer does while important still doesn't necesarrily corellate to what happens with heifers. A 2 year old still has a significant amount of growing to do. But we won't keep a heifer out of a hard calving cow. I figure that's just one more way of avoiding one more possible problem. I would just as soon see a 1200 lb cow have a 70 lb calf, breed back and wean a 650-700 lb calf at 6 1/2 months. I don't really care how small they are as newborns, I'm more concerned with how big they are as weanlings. dun [/QUOTE]
