[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 232280, member: 2095"] We used to have both a spring (~feb-April) calving season and a fall (~Sept-Nov) calving season. It was not uncommon at all for my Grandfather to hold a few heifers that would have turned two in a calving season to be bred in the next calving season if he felt they were a little lite too breed. Sometimes a heifer did not settle in one 60 day calving season and got to retry six months later. I got no scienfic data to back this up; but according to my memory we had a lot less calving problems with the 30 m.o. heifers than we did the 24 m.o. heifers. Now we weren't raising grain fattened show heifers either so that might make a difference. [/QUOTE]
