normal size for heifer
I was just wondering what a normal size for a 15 month jersey/angus cross would be. My Abagail seems small to me and I just wanted to compare averages. I am trying to decide if I should breed her or not. Thanks.

If she weighs 600 pounds or more and is 15 months old, I would have her bred, - but to a calving ease breed.

My 3/4 Guernsey-Angus X is MUCH larger than what a Guernsey's supposed to be, at about 1400lbs. plus. She was first bred at 17 months and didn't come to her full size till she was near 3 years.
