We have two heifers that we are looking at breeding very early so they are showing by MN State Fair time. One is a Dream On x Rocky Balboa and the other is a Sandeens SOS. We feel that they are big enough to breed in early April so they will be showing in late August. The Balboa is a Feb 28, 2011 calf and the SOS calf is a April 4, 2011. She is a Hilbrand/Ebersbacher Embryo calf. The thing we are worried about is the possibility that it may stunt their growth. Will this effect them negatively in any way? The Balboa heifer was very competive at MN Beef Expo and we feel by breeding early will make it even more competitive. Any comments would be appreciated.
