[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 615283, member: 4353"] Typically a calf is proportionally the same at 2 months as its going to be at 2 years. I want good weaning weights on my heifers, thats the best indication of the milking ability of the dam and ultimately also how the heifer is going to milk. Yearling weights and onwards need to be average or just above, no need to chase late maturing extremes in future breeding stock. If a heifer is heavy for her age at 12 months, but not taller frame wise and not masculine I see it as a bonus. [/QUOTE]
