Assume Registered Herd. Seedstock producer. You've analyized your cows, selected bulls for the traits, genetics, bloodlines, etc. you want to include in your herd. Heifers are born; some make the cut, some don't. Two part question:
1) What do you use to determine which heifers make the cut and which don't - physical appearance, structure, avg. daily weight gain, all of the above, others?
2) For the heifers you are not planning to keep, when do you sell them - weaning, yearling, bred heifers?
Thanks!
