[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1078730, member: 5612"] We have two calving seasons, but like to calve our heifers all at the same time in the spring. We take our fall born heifers slow, basically just pasture and maybe a little liquid. We have been getting about 30-40% more bred than the yearlings. More breed back sooner, too. One thing to keep in mind is that a heifer calving at 2 is losing her baby teeth at the same time. Nothing wrong with holding them longer, if you've got the time and grass. I think the higher retention rate offsets the earlier paycheck somewhat. [/QUOTE]
