[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1389756, member: 1715"] Lots of data out there, that heifers take a couple more weeks to come into heat compared to cows. It is very expensive to cull heifers, so optimizers breed their heifers one month before they breed the cows. I have no problems with breeding and rebreeding wf heifers on the same schedule are cows - - but the big heavy milking simi, south devon or terminal angus type heifer crosses can be an issue. We calve out a lot of heifers so I expect one or two to fall out. We just eat that kind. [/QUOTE]
