[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 282948, member: 539"] I don't understand why you would intentionally do this, either. :???: First calf heifers that calve at apprx 2 years of age don't produce as much milk as their more mature herdmates, it will undoubtedly only be worse for a younger heifer. I know that has been the case when we've had weaning age (or younger) heifers get bred and calve. Not to mention the added stress due to probable calving difficulties, increased chances of rejecting the calf, and high probability of the mother not attaining her full potential - growth wise. I'm missing something. :? [/QUOTE]
