Yearling Heifer Bred

[cow pollinater]

The only reason I would slip that calf is if it either didn't fit into my ideal calving period or I had big genetic plans to mate her to a specific AI bull. If neither of those were in play I'd be glad to have another calf on the way and leave it alone.

What about if the bull was for cows and known for really big calves

The OP said the bull was a low birth weight bull that typically throws small calves so that shouldn't be a problem.

I am all about risk vs reward. I need to get a grip on eyeballing weights. I'm sure there is a trick to it.

All you need is practice. I recommend you start by guessing weights of women.
Head to the mall with a scale. Video it and post it as a learning experience for all. :cowboy:

Haha. I'm gonna get right to that!

If you tell a complete stranger she clocks in at a deuce I predict bodily harm. I'd totally watch that video Good luck!

Most of my heifers calve about 20-21 months and I have never had an issue.

The more i look at them, the more I want to think they will be just fine. Most people i have spoken to turn them out at a year or so.

Had a hard time trying to get pictures to work. Going to have to work on that a little bit. Cannot be that hard.

Center of photo. Thought it might help determine size.

[frieghttrain]

[Muddy]

Did you dewormed her and do they have some access to loose minerals? She looks rough.

 

[ClinchValley]

No and Yes. It was raining that day. Definitely need to be worked a bit. I'll agree.
