To get a maximum lifetime production out of our cows they need to begin calving around two years of age. To calve as two year olds, adequate pelvic size is critical and is one of the objective evaluations we take and utilize before breeding our yearling heifers. All 25 of our heifers in this section were bred as yearlings and are scheduled to calve close to two years of age. They will start calving mid February to early March. We have a vet. do sonogram pregnancy determinations on our A.I.’d and natural service exposed females to determine with certainty whether females we sell as bred are pregnant to the A.I. bull or to the clean up bull, and in so doing at the appropriate time, the sex of some of the carried calves can be determined. SPRING 2026 CALVING HEIFERS
While BBU has only recently established an age at first calf EPD our program has for many years involved breeding our heifers to calve at approximately two years of age. Not all Beefmaster or Brahman influence heifers can or should be bred as a yearling to calve as two year olds. Some are not yet cycling and some do not have adequate pelvic size. However, those that so qualify and do we consider among our most valuable females. Research has shown, and our experience has confirmed, that Beefmaster females with reasonable genetics and nutrition will have pelvic growth from yearlings to two year olds of 9 to 10 square centimeters per months and will require approximately 3 square centimeters of pelvic area per pound of calf born to avoid calving problems from pelvic size.
