[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1528807, member: 5956"] Spring or fall calving? Weaning age? Breed? Implanted or creep feed? Location? Spring - later than most. Norm around here is August, I wait until October when warmer and maybe drier. 6.5 months avg. This year kept my replacement heifers on until 9 months. An experiment in lifelong effect. Angus, some bred up from dairy crosses a couple of decades ago. No implants, no creep, grass/milk only. Grass is sub-tropical Kikuyu - high fibre, supposedly poor feed, seems to do them well. North NZ. Adjusted 200 days (adjusted calf age only, no dam age adjustment) Steer 602# Heifers 558# [/QUOTE]
