thot that would get your attention...

Topic of Cow size has had me thinking.


My dad talks about they used to breed hiefers as 2 year olds to calve at 3. I don't think that is an option anymore. However, I do think it is interesting...I started feeding my hiefers to make sure they were mature sized for the first calf.....But this extra feed certainly could ffect the mature size when they get older. I could see it making what was going to e a 1200 pound cow into 1300 pounds instead.....


So my question, what way do you develop your Replacement Hiefers? What is your target Breeding wt. and first calf wt. and mature wt.?

I also feel we need to feed thes girls a little wiiththe first calf on them to assure they breed back, this affects the mature wieght to,
