[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 351212, member: 852"] Since I don't have a set time of year to calve heifers out (just running dairy heifers over here), I breed as soon as I have them reaching 800-850lbs. I try to get a 1.8+ ADG throughout gestation, bringing them to 1300lb+ springers. Most of the time they'll average 12 months at the time of breeding and have had one cycle; lately I've been breeding 2nd and sometimes 3rd cycle with the exception of a couple early maturers. I've got a group (born last February) that gets preg checked probably end of next week, (they'll be 35-40 days), and they're about 850-900lbs, some maybe a touch over. [/QUOTE]
