[QUOTE="jerry27150, post: 678102, member: 1177"] our vet is 80 years old & has his own large herd. he tells everyone that the heifers out of your first calf heifers will make the best momma cows. i think one reason is the first calf heifer will produce a little less milk & her heifer calf will develop more milk cells & less fat cells. i have bought some heifers that were great looking bc they had been raised on grain & they never could raise a good calf. works the same if a cow has to much too much milk, the calf will have more fat cells [/QUOTE]
