We are nearing our 80th day of checking 2 yr. old hfrs. around here. Is that some kind of record? :roll: :lol: There are 2 of them hanging on still. We had purchased heifers start calving a couple weeks before our home raised heifers, and another purchased bunch is still calving a full month after our home raised heifers finished. They said they cut them off the first of June, but looks like one of the two will never make that. She is getting turned out a while after the other one calves.
Anyone that says it is better to buy than raise you own hfrs. must have forgotten about the variables you put up with. :wink:
We bred our home raised heifers for 35 days, and they just calved for a few days longer than that. I was happy with that. Makes a little more even bunch that way.
