[QUOTE="simme, post: 1742349, member: 40418"] How much does she weigh? What are you breeding her to? Is the bull a proven calving ease bull? Breeding at 12 months carries more risk than breeding later. Greater risk of needing assistance, greater risk of a bad outcome. Bred to a calving ease bull, most likely will be OK, but risk is greater. Pelvic measurement/scoring might be considered to help ensure confidence. More heterosis in the mating, the more the birth weight. Bull calf (50% probable), the more birth weight. Fat heifer - more risk. Low BCS at calving - more risk of calving trouble. Just understand the risks and try to minimize them if she really needs to be bred now. [/QUOTE]
