What has been everyone's experience using virgin heifers as receipts?

I'm not sure why someone would try this, unless their embryo calves are "heifer safe". Even then I'm not sure I'd take the chance of using a heifer.dutch pride said:What has been everyone's experience using virgin heifers as receipts?

Interesting, didn't know that. Nice to know.Possum Trot Ranch said:They settle better that than cows, but milk less and have dystosia more often. Unless they are maternally bred and the eggs going in are calving ease, I would stick with mature cows for recips.
