[QUOTE="daniel.carver, post: 699421, member: 6685"] Hello to all, alftn, If I have understood this correctly, A heifer can be bred as long as it reaches 2 ys of age before calving. I have read this many times on this board. Storey's, pg 137, potential to weigh 750 to 800 lbs at breeding age (15 months). pg 139, "Heifers should be breed at about 15 months of age, to calve the next year as two year olds". I am no expert, I rely on the mentors in C.T. boards and learning through cattle books such as the Storey's guide to raising beef cattle. And a few knowlegable friends. I AM STILL LEARNING! With that said I LOVE ALL MY COWS, & ya'll will think this is funny, but their all named, but Margret is the only one tht knows her name. LOL. I appreciate everyones advice & help here on C.T. It's a fantastic place to learn & share experiences. I wish I worked days so that we could all meet at the cafe for coffee & biscuts to talk cattle. But it would have to be a [size=7]BIG CAFE.[/size] Again thank to all, Dan :D [/QUOTE]
