[QUOTE="Alan, post: 641226, member: 378"] Lots of talk lately about Polled Hereford heifer bulls. While I like Progress and Rib Eye and use both, I was really sold on 242 for those heifers you cross your fingers for. I have a small framed 1st time heifer, 3 days short of 24 months, about 800 to 850 lbs. She had a 242 calf last night, first calf this year. From the time she started showing the birth sack to calf on the ground was about and hour heifer calf 68lbs, no assistance. If she was a bigger heifer I would have not hesitated to use Progress, Rib Eye or Harland (the bulls in my tank). Now my only concern is watching if she can catch up in growth rates with the other calves with 242's WW and YW numbers. But again I'm sold on how easy this 68 lb calf came from a small framed 1st time heifer. Alan [/QUOTE]
