[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 215103, member: 968"] Victoria, you are so right. We raise our weaned heifers to be large enough to breed and calve as a 2 year old (22 months - 25 months). BUT, they are still growing as 2 yr olds & need to be watched. They only receive pasture & mineral as wet 2 yr olds, and we seperate them from the mature cows (with 3 yr olds) and are fed hay & mineral in a well protected winter lot. They do not receive any grain after being confirmed bred as yearlings. (unless they are fortunate enough to make our show string - than they are pampered & get grain - watched close - so as not to get them fat). [/QUOTE]
