[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1524674, member: 20754"] That is correct. We breed our heifers to calve at 30 months. It is just our personal preference. Most breeders breed to calve at two, but we feel that our females benefit with the extra 6 months of maturity. As yearlings, we feel that they are a little on the small side, and they get too fat when you calve them at 3 years. We calve our heifers in the fall, leave their calves on them for at least 8 months, and then we breed them at the same time as our cow herd so that they are then in sync with the rest of the herd.
