[QUOTE="ranchercowgirl, post: 1096219, member: 21811"] As I raise registered cattle I don't breed heifers until there are at least around 14 months and 750 weight. Some of my heifers wean off at 800 pounds, however are to young to breed. the commercial matket is a little different though. Being a purebred breeder, we are always looking for a herd bull, and I find that many yearas of breeding cattle, a 900 pound cow does not porduce a herd bull. All lot depends on how the heifers are handled if they are bred young and small. Feed and nutrition really help the heifer to keeping growing and mainly breed back the second time. [/QUOTE]
