[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1133301, member: 9096"] Good to hear she had it OK. I found the same thing with the Gelbvieh, Last year I had 3 heifers come into heat at 190 days old, one got bred by the big bull, the other two were luckily away from him already. If she's got really good bloodlines, perhaps if you can move her to fall calfing for next year, and spring the year after (so she has a calf every 18 months for a while) she'd do OK... I don't like having cows open for an entire year... too much mooing and hassle when they're always in heat, and despite she's ahead of the game, leaving her open a full year sounds wasteful to me, since it'll then take 2 years until you have a calf on the ground again.
