[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1078009, member: 17767"] [i]Preface: It just occurred to me that I bet Kris is referring to studies using Simmental Cattle which is what she raises. So her info may not apply cleanly to other breeds.[/i] Fire Sweep Ranch, Kris, told me recently that there is a new study that has generated data that is contrary to previous data. I was holding 2 heifers until spring and Kris said I should breed them now. She said that breeding at 12 months is acceptable and the heifer will develope into a better cow. Mine are probably 800 lbs. Maybe she will read this and provide a reference to the data. I was surprised because some on here have stated that the heifer grows less after being bred. She said not true!!! [/QUOTE]
