[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1803226, member: 40587"] It is all about money. There is nothing detrimental to the health of a cow by waiting til she is at least 24 months old to breed her. Much better for the cow, in fact. But, people who retain heifers will have another 9-10 months to wait til [I]that[/I] heifer's calf gets here. If this were [I]"law" it [/I]wouldn't effect someone like me at all. I trailer wean[I] ALL [/I]calves at 6 months, and[I] buy [/I]replacement cows if needed. If it were [I]law [/I]that no horse could be saddled til 4 yr old, nor entered into competition, it would effect owners. and trainers for just 3 years tops. 2022 foals could not be shown or raced until 2027, but they'd have competition horses every year after that, so their money situation would be back on track. But, they'd have a horse they could run every week, even every day insteqd of these babies they can run once every 3 weeks or so. An 8-10 yr old, you could run every time the track was open, and more than one race a day. But few owners or hardly any trainers trainers would have pockets deep enough top survive 3 years with no income. [/QUOTE]
