[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 186348, member: 852"] That's certainly a good logic on getting them to make you money sooner by breeding earlier - but - I know it won't always work. And I'd sure question his saying that a well grown heifer will cycle by 4 months. Either that or he has some superior calf-raising practices and extremely fertile animals. LOL. I've seen heifers raised on really good feed - one running with the milking herd, raised on a cow and TMR ration - that "still" didn't start cycling until 9 months. As a general rule, age and weight determine puberty. [/QUOTE]
