[QUOTE="KMA, post: 3020870, member: 32"] Used to have 75 Bluegrey, 45 Galloway and around 12 WBS calvers plus followers didn't bull the heifers until they were around 26 months to let them grow properly, meant they had longer productive lives, reckon them holding them off the bull got me around 4 more productive years at the end. With the exception of 'Queenie' I put them down the road at 16ys old regardless. Queenie was a bluegrey who was a total embarrassment to look at - scrawny, flipper feet, long thin head with a bit of a moptop, only got bulled the first time because I was a bit short of bullers that year, she produced a decent calf and somehow never made the cull wagon the next year or the year after that, for all her f'ugliness she consistently produced the best Xcalf every year of her life no matter whether it was to char, lim or angus........go figure:scratchhead: [/QUOTE]
