[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1573356, member: 968"] SS - I think things may have changed since you did that. Of course, I have ALWAYS bred for calving around 24 months of age, even back in the 70's when I was breeding just commercial cows for my first 1/2 bloods. Rare that a 2 yr old doesn't get bred back, but have had 3 yr olds with 2nd calf end up in the latter part of my 60 day calving dates. To me, that is the hardest group to "hold together". They are a bit thin when we wean at 2.5 yrs old, and just have a hard time getting back into a good BCS of 5- 6 for calving next year - with our winters. [/QUOTE]
