[QUOTE="BeefmasterB, post: 616925, member: 8931"] I think the concern would not be so much on rejecting a first calf but rather the health of the first calf and of the heifer! Watching the calf to make sure it's getting colostrum and watching for dystocia would be more important to me as some heifers don't produce enough the first go around. The first calf heifer might take a little longer to recover so nutritional requirements might need to be watched. Other than that, first calves are just as good as the rest IMO. [/QUOTE]
