[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 664066, member: 173"] I've rarely had any trouble getting one on full feed.. regardless of if it's a heifer or a cow with a calf. Just doing it gradually is the key.. a small increase at a time of course. Have you tried feeding less, more often? If you can feed her three or four times a day, smaller amounts, that might help with the "runs". And plenty of hay in between. Roughage generally helps firm them up. I've never had much luck with beet pulp, although I know a lot of show folks that use it for filler. [/QUOTE]
