[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1023642, member: 5644"] I don't see anything wrong with using a Jersey, Longhorn or Corriente bull on a first calf heifer. You are looking at a young cow calving around 2 years old. She isn't through growing and having the foresight to think of the benefit of the heifer is the way to go. Better getting a smaller than average calf with a successful delivery than possibly a dead cow or ruined cow. Besides, if you want, you can sell the calf as a bottle calf and then let the heifer grow and breed back. Chances are it will be black and will bring good $$$ at the sale barn. Many of our beef heifers over the year's first calf was by a Jersey bull. [/QUOTE]
