Wondering if to put some of our bluex and simx heifers in calf to calf at 24 months, or sell them fat at similar age, they are currently out at grass. We have a dairy herd and normally take all calves through to fat ( unless dairy heifers as replacements). Have an Angus bull about to come out of dairy cows who could run with them. We have plenty of grass ( at the moment) and would out winter on stubble turnips. Would sell next year either with calf at foot, or if shut with tb ( currently not) would wean calf and try and get heifer way before 30 months fat. Is this a workable plan?
