[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1573346, member: 19683"] I can imagine that. Have seen many people calving continental heifers at ~2years age and they like it, but also seem other which will never do it again. All have said that they need better care after calving if you want them to breed back in time. These heifers should go out on grass in a month time and they are in a good condition, so hopefully they'll breed back in time. Had a huge train wreck with calving heifers in fall... Very few would breed back in time, most would come in heat only in spring or would wait for the weaning... Our pure heifer is born in June, so if I wanted to calve her in spring next year, would need to breed her very young. Going to wait for an extra year and calve her at ~33months age. Heifers of a couple other continental breeds won't be bred at a young age too. They might do okay, but who knows. Don't want to risk. [/QUOTE]
