[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 803696, member: 1744"] Alot of good advise so here is my two bits worth, asked for or not....We like to let the heifer grow up a bit and shoot for at least 80% of adult weight at breeding and calving at two years (add a month or two). Alot depends on what weather you want to calve in...below zero Decembers and Januarys are not my idea of ideal weather, though we have a pair in the barn that calved on Dec 30th. March is good calving weather up here, cold enough to keep the calves healthy with out worrying about frost bite and finding calfsickles and the spring melt hasn't turned the place into a mud pit yet. Avaiability of good pasture in the spring needs to be considered, when does your grass get up to grazing condition. I guess that it all depends on your breeding plan and what you want for your herd. dave Mc [/QUOTE]
