I can seem to find this information on the web, so if anyone can help, Id appreciate it.
When a animal is classified as a heifer, is there an age limit(on the animal?) Can she not even be exposed to a bull or in calf? Is the term heifer used on the animal until she actually pops the little un out?
I ask, as I thought to use our now 6 month old calf next year for my son's heifer project(just county show really..and the local fair, mabey if he wanted, district too). Im just trying to understand the rules regarding this if she WAS to be bred when he wanted to show her..
Or should I scrap this idea entirely and just look into buying him a early spring heifer next year?
Thoughts from those more experienced in this relm then I.
