Heifers should be bred earlier to save costs says expert
Portage la Prairie specialist Art Domes notes breeding heifers at 15 to 18 months reduces overall costs. He cites a new test station showing open heifers incur about 182 per year plus 90 for breeding, 72 for extra feed, and 80 for weight loss, offset by a 320 calf sale value and 32 interest, totaling a 190 advantage when fed properly.
