[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 376523, member: 3398"] Are you sure about her age and weight or are you guessing them. Age wise she is plenty old enough to breed but if it were me i would want her weighing about 800 + lbs before have her bred. But if you are sure she is 15 months old i am wondering why she does not already weigh more than 700 lbs ? At that age i would think she should be weighing close to 900 lbs. And with her only weighing 700 lbs at 15 months of age what comes to mind is she was some how stunted a little bit while she was growing. Which might have affected here bone growth allowing here to reach a level of maturity that would of let her pelvic bones develope properly. Which would help her avoid possible calfing problems. If you are only guessing at her age you might want to let her get a little more size on here before breeding her. That is just my 2 cents worth for what ever it is worth. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
