I am not much of a heifer buyer. Don't like the idea... BUT
ANy ways we purchased some heifers and they hit our pasture on 10-28-06 with our bulls.
When we bought them they had already been exposed to bulls. By 12-28-06 we had a calf hit the ground and they have been hitting the ground up to this day.
I roughly estimated that any calf after 8-6-07 would be from out bulls.
Around 70% have had calves, 22% are showing being bred, and 8% show no signs to this date.
I was saying to ship out the the ones showing no sign and another person was saying to keep them longer and see.
What do yall think?
Thought about palpating them and then shipping if stil nothing?
