[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 645058, member: 9096"] well, we had a heifer calf at about 15 months old once... I guess the calf was about 45-55 lbs, she did it on her own, she had no choice, since we sure weren't expecting her to calf... she's 5 years old now and expecting her 4th calf.. mind you, the first calf was only about 350 lbs at weaning, and she's had a bit a hard time to grow herself, but as long as she has a calf every year we'll keep her from the sounds of it, you wanting to buy bred calves, DON'T... they'll never produce, you'll have higher losses, and the list goes on. and NEVER believe what someone says about what heifers are bred to unless they're small producers who only have 1 bull, or every bull they have is PROVEN to have low BW's.. considering the size of the calves we're getting from this bull, we're glad to breed at 2 years old, we've had several heifers with 110lb BW calves now, and no losses.
