[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1551791, member: 968"] This is why we have such diversity in our cattle - or SHOULD have. IMO - BH's cattle are obese. I would scold anyone I was advising if they got their cattle in that condition. But, if they work for him and don't have breeding problems or calving problems, not for us to scold. He has been doing this long enough to know what works for him. For others reading this, I would warn, DO NOT let your heifers get this obese prior to breeding. Once a milk cell fills with fat, it will NEVER produce milk. So, a chubby little weaned heifer - or - fat yearling ready for breeding should NOT be your goal. Most on here knows I am into showing my cattle, which show cattle have to have a little layer. LITTLE layer is key, you do not want her with a fat udder. Yes, I see lots of them. Doesn't make it right for them later on in life as a cow. [/QUOTE]
