[QUOTE="BeefmasterB, post: 676205, member: 8931"] Sounds like you have a pretty good project to deal with! There's a pretty good write-up on CT you might want to read that could answer several of your questions: [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/archive/2003/October/CT295.shtml]http://www.cattletoday.com/archive/2003 ... T295.shtml[/url] If you want some breed specific information you might want to tap into [url=http://www.angus.org/]http://www.angus.org/[/url] Since you have a breeding age heifer, 1 1/2 years old, I'd be critical about the neighbors bull and what kind of birth weight it's produces. Depending on your heifers frame, that bull could be just fine or problematic. Although many folks might breed their heifers at 12 or 13 months, I prefer 18 months so as not to push them. 800 lbs might be fine for 1 1/2 years, again, depending on their frame. Is grass available? [/QUOTE]
