My husband and I are in a big argument. We found a calf last july that was either left behind, or a twin someone didnt know they had out on a road. We brought it home and bottle fed it. She was average size when found for a 1-2 week old calf. Now, she is 10 months old, and maybe MAYBE - 500 lb if that. She is small! Hubby thinks she can be bred in July just fine to our yearling red angus. (Granted, he probably wont hurt her, but its the birth Im worried about with her size). I say WAIT! Shes not big enough, and to have the vet do a check on her to see if she was a twin, if shes got all her "parts" and if he feels shes ready to concieve. I really feel were asking for trouble breeding her this small. But my husband does not listen to me, "He is always right". Any comments on this please?
