[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1708397, member: 17524"] You are correct. What you are doing isn't for everyone. Sorry you can't check on your heifers more than once a week. That would never work here. As for getting them bigger before calving, early on we calved a bunch of heifers that calved their first calf at 3 years old. They were big and wild which made them hard to handle. They didn't want anything to do with a calf. That is what people did 'back then'. Soon they went to calving heifers at 2 years of age because of those big,stupid 3 year old cows. Sure they had to watch the heifers, but they did when they were first calvers at 3 years of age, only for different reasons. I will never forget those 3 year old first time mothers. They were awful.
