[QUOTE="slick4591, post: 1363277, member: 16503"] I'm finding there's not a fertility issue with Piedmontese, but like with all heifers you do need to be conscious of BW and breeding dates. Keep up with the breeding dates because the calf is growing a lot in the third trimester. A few days of going over can cause you some big problems calving. Right now I'm retaining F1 heifers and breeding them back to Pieds. The F1 bull calves are terminal here. Our registry allows for 1-copy (Tendercross) and 2-copy (Tenderlean) and there's a niche market for both if you can find it in your area. I'm expecting a 3/4 Pied calf any day now and my objective with the crosses is to breed up to 2-copy animals and run those along with my full bloods. [/QUOTE]
