[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16277"] Our coming two year olds only way around 900 lbs. Remember there are different environments that dictate different mature size cattle. That being said. I wouldn't breed her even if her repro tract score is 5. Unless she can really bloom in the next couple of months she'll have a hard time reaching 650-700 by July. For most british breeds that is about the minimum you would want to breed her. dun > As a rule you generaly wait till > they reach 900 lbs.
