[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1758357, member: 24027"] Depending on the breed and lineage, they can get bred well before they're weaned. I had one bred at 4 months - it was all bad. Precisely why I now pull the bulls a good 6 weeks prior to weaning and all heifers get a shot of Lutalyse. That said, one of my neighbors runs stockers and this is the first year in a long time he bought all heifers. But he also adds MGA to the feed, which suppresses estrus. Bulls can travel and they can jump fences. [/QUOTE]
