[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1269129, member: 9096"] Rafter S and I are on the same page.. I sometimes keep my replacement heifers on milk a little longer than the market calves.. 8-9 months or so... I don't require them to be fertile at weaning, in fact I don't like it if they come into heat TOO early just because the bull may still be with the cows and I don't like having 16 month old heifers having calves.. If they are reliably fertile at about 1 year old that's all I need. The youngest I'd breed them at (on a really good, big heifer) is 12 months, mostly they're bred around 15 months though. [/QUOTE]
