[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1071537, member: 18809"] Gizmom, I have 2 year old Pioneer in production here. We bred her to a calving ease Simmental sire for her first calf, and she had a heifer calf, 49 pounds! Her dam was a TC Freedom cow, and HUGE (at least a 7 frame). Thus, why we sold her. We picked up the pair in the Graham dispersal sale a few years ago (they came from OK). The Pioneer daughter is SMALL, probably my smallest two year old right now. We weighed everyone the first part of October, she was 1030. She never cycled, so we ended up setting her up with a CIDR to get her bred (she is an August, and was bred in December), and she took on the first AI. She has yet to come into heat since calving, and she calved on September 11th, so 60 days now. All of our other fall calvers have had at least one heat since calving, and she was the first one to have a calf! Her udder is not very pretty (uneven), and very small. Her heifer looks outstanding, so we were sure the cow was giving her the good stuff. Just this week, I found the calf stealing from another cow, and I can tell she has done it before because she would watch for a cow to start nursing and then sneak in from behind. :o So, I am not happy with her just yet. Of course, this is just ONE heifer from Pioneer, but she is our only Angus in the herd and she is not making the breed look very good compared to the Simmentals ;-) [/QUOTE]
