[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1109050, member: 19683"] Every year we keep the different number of heifers. We needed to increase herd more and we lost two cows, so last year from 12 heifers were left 11, because that one is very poor and she probably couldn't calve by her own. This year from 14 will be left 6( one got incalf too yearly and now is carrying her second calf, but will keep her for awhile). Next year to increase herd we'd like to leave all, but we'll watch one, because she is out of 15months old heifer,so she can be small in the future. Anyway, it's always important to leave just those heifers which will make good cows. Now we leave more heifers to replace 1/2dairy cows. [/QUOTE]
