[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1803155, member: 24816"] I’ve always believed that British and most continental breeds are just as well off to be bred at 14-15 months as opposed to waiting till 2 years of age. From what I have seen they are more likely to calve consistently at regular intervals. May be just anecdotal, but I’ve always thought that waiting longer just gave them more time to get in heavier than necessary condition which could affect fertility. Obviously, later maturing breeds like high percentage or full Brahmans would be different and should be bred later. On the subject of horse racing, it’s definitely not my cup of tea. It’s more of a pomp and circumstance thing. It’s the big deal in KY. I’ll take ranch horses, pleasure horses, work horses or mules any day but definitely not into thoroughbred racing or English style events. [/QUOTE]
