[QUOTE="Penantly, post: 1586866, member: 38304"] Hi guys. This is my first post but have been reading your posts for quite a while. I have a small cow herd and have been fooling with cattle for a few years. I am currently in expansion mode. I always swear off buying bred heifers but seem to come home with them anyway. I understand the first calf is generally not going to do as well as following calves. Is there some rule of thumb as to what the second or third calf will do based off the first calf if using same bull? For example if you wean a 500 lb steer at 7 months off a heifer will she raise a 600 lb calf at 7 months with same inputs on the second calf? [/QUOTE]
