[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1150677, member: 14585"] Ridiculous! How many did they have...2? They were just spreading old wives' tales. There may be other reasons not to select replacements from heifers, but lifetime fertility is not one of them. Dairy farmers have been doing it for generations and if it were truly a problem it would have been well documented by now. The root problem is usually nutrition and most often affects 1st calf heifers not just the ones from heifers. [/QUOTE]
