[QUOTE="dun, post: 283460, member: 34"] That pretty well sums it up. But regional variations are alwasy a possibility. With us a steer is a calf until he's butchered. Heifers are short eyarlings, 10-11 months or so, yealring 11-13/14 months, long yearlings until about 20 months then coming 2 year olds. But before they calf they are heifers, after they calve for the [b]first[b] time, thery're cows. But we call them first calvers or second calvers, but they're still cows. Never really worried all that much about terminology, but I guess it can be confusing if you don;t know what the other person means. I've heard so many srange variations that I convert whatever they other guy calls them to what I call them in my head. Thinking back, now I understand why a guy that I was looking at some cows with got so confused. He kept referring to 2nd calf heifers and I was calling them 2nd calf cows. dun[/b][/b] [/QUOTE]
