[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 675588, member: 2308"] My bottom line for our heifers is that she needs to raise a calf that gained 1.8 lbs per day (works out to 450 lbs or so on 205 days). I have discovered using my records in the past that if she can't do this in her first year, she won't improve enough in the next year to make it worth feeding her to find that out. I might cull the odd one that would have surprise me, but I think that the cost of feeding all the others negates that possibility. [/QUOTE]
