[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 217971, member: 2862"] I suspect this tale has come about from another saying "better to be safe than sorry". Since a heifer's offspring will _generally_ grow a little slower and mature a little later, its more difficult to determine whether its going to make a good breeding animal later in its life. So I think many will simply pass on the animal as they aren't sure what its true genetic potential is. Rod [/QUOTE]
