[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 212164, member: 57"] personally, for the cows sake i believe it is better for them to calve at three. they just dont have the stress of trying to grow as much and raise a calf and breed back. they will be less likely to have calving difficulty and will breed back better. I liken it to young girls. just because they sexually mature at 10 or 11 doesnt mean they need to be having babies then. research shows that girls who have babies at very early ages are usually less healthy than those who have them later. Having said all that, for most people its more about the $$. i like to go on weight more than age. [/QUOTE]
