[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 678114, member: 2653"] I've studied my herd in great detail since 2005 (data wise), and while a heifer's first calf almost always weans smaller than the herd average, that calf "catches up" to everyone else within a couple of years as Dun suggests. I'd have no problems keeping heifers from heifers, but as everyone else is saying: judge each calf on it's own merits, a good replacement could come from a heifer; so could a bad one. [/QUOTE]
