advertising typo's, this one made me laugh.

I guess it could depend on what region you are from. In some areas a cow is termed a heifer through her first lactation but I think that is a wrong definition.

To me a cow is.....
A calf to 12 months old.
A heifer till she has a calf.
A springing heifer in her last 2 months of pregnacy.
And a cow the second she gives birth.
 
Always refered to them as "first calf heifers" because they still do a lot of growing during the first lactation. In fact cows usually are not fully mature size until 4 to 6 years old.
 
OK. Guess where we live, this would seem to be a correct ad. In our area, we even talk about 3 year old "heifers".
 
In my book a heifer becomes a cow after it's first calf, age doesn't matter.

It's up there with filly colts... just don't get it... is it a filly or a colt??????
 
Would be worded right here too... We call them
'cows' after their 2nd calf; either 'cows' or (more
common) '1st calf heifers' after their first calf.
 
Gotta have a pretty goood pedigree to ask that kind of price- thats pretty close to $4 a pound. And it will be at least 11 months of feed before any return. Maybe he knows something about the market we don't?
