[QUOTE="Alan, post: 461927, member: 378"] I also would breed your heifers at 15 months so they calve at 24 months. Another thing to think about is your weather from calving to weaning. In my case I don't care about the cold as much as the amount of mud, in the wet season they can go belly deep around the feed bunks in some spots (toward early spring) I don't want young calves trying to follow mom into belly deep mud so I calve in early March when the grass starts to grow again. I too would use Legend 242, easy calving bull, good for first calf heifers, you can get semen from Genex.
