[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1654211, member: 39347"] To keep replacement heifers in time with the rest of the herd, do you wait to breed them with the rest of the herd (potentially 20-24 months) or do you maintain a separate heifer calving group? I ask because I have a yearling heifer whose mother bred back about 50 days post-calving, has calves again-late November-and planning to AI again early January. Her heifer (above) would be 15 months old in May, which would have her calving as a two-year old, but off-cycle from the cows. If I wait to get her in sync, she would be almost 3 for 1st calf. Small herd, so management isn’t a huge problem other than paying AI guy to come out for a separate AI cycle. [/QUOTE]
