[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1663802, member: 25884"] And we wind up buying some of these and because I calve in a pretty easy to find em place... have done well with calving them out. If they are 800 lbs they ought to be able to calve by the time they are full term if they aren't roly poly fat. Sure, it matters about the bull they were bred to.... but careful watchfulness can get most out without a big problem. Condition of the heifer has alot to do with it. I shy away from buying "bred heifers" ... like the plague.... just doesn't work well for us. Won't sell bred heifers either... don't want anyone coming back and saying that they had problems..... sell 'em with a calf on the ground... or open..... buy the ones that might be/may be an oops bred, or older cows, or one and dones. We have lost a few but made more than we ever lost. [/QUOTE]
