[QUOTE="FlyingLSimmentals, post: 1150972, member: 16752"] Age of the Dam don't dictate which heifers we keep. It doesn't matter if the dam was a 2 year old, 6 year old, or a 16 year old a good heifer is a good heifer. Breeding back depends on the females fertility, the difficulty of the birth, if they are getting the right nutrition to maintain their weight, some heifers require more nutrition than others etc... Several of our best replacements have been from first calving dams. [/QUOTE]
