[QUOTE="gberry, post: 703798, member: 3325"] I think I understand what Aero is saying. With our management, we will almost always have a few heifers who do not mature early enough to get bred at 14-15 months. I know we could feed them more and they would breed at 15 months, but we prefer to put a little pressure on them to identify the ones that can make it with our management. I know of one Beefmaster breeder here who has very nice cows, but has told me he doesn't even try to breed them until 24 months or later because they are later maturing. I know others will disagree, but that has been his experience. [/QUOTE]
