[QUOTE="NEFarmwife, post: 1508044, member: 26897"] For heifers, we look at low BW (but not necessarily negative) with high calving ease. This year, we bought a group of virgin heifers a little on the smaller side and opted to go with a negative BW on their breedings. We plan to sell as breds and didn't want those whom purchase them, to have difficulty calving them out. Not everyone has the facilities that we do and many opt to let them calve in fields. We had to think of our future customers. We don't put a low BW on a cow. [/QUOTE]
