[QUOTE="rwtherefords, post: 222027, member: 778"] I've tried both ways. Never had a problem calving a 2 year old with proper bull selection. The only time I've had to deal with dystocia is when trying to calve heifers as 3 year olds. I don't try it any more. All the talk about better health, frame, condition, etc. hasn't proven to be true with my cattle either. All the mature cows appear to be the same whether they calved at 2 or 3 years. I think their health is more a matter of management than when they first calve. [/QUOTE]
