[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1487223, member: 20580"] If you like the genetics behind her, if her cow line has been productive, and if you have the room to keep her for awhile I'd give her a chance to mature and see what you have before breeding season. If you don't like her then you can always fatten her up an sell her for slaughter. We've had some heifers that maybe didn't blow you away at weaning but kept around because we knew they were out of good cows and some of those marginal heifers wound up being better cows than the ones that were the top calves of their calf crop. You just have to go with your gut sometimes and worse case if your gut feeling was wrong then you send that animal to the sale barn but if it was right you won't lose sleep wondering if you gave up on them too soon.
