[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1178002, member: 13402"] Folks often talk about care of first calf heifers. In truth three year olds require every bit as much care and attention as that first calf heifer. We manage the 2 and 3 year old cows the same actually rotate the 3 year olds into the muture cow pasture when they wean their second calf. Keep in mind a three year old is still growing raising a calf and trying to breed back, a lot to ask of a young animal proper nutrition is just as important as those first calf heifers. Bottom line it is a cows job to produce a calf every 365 days it is our job to provide them with the tools (in this case nutrition) to do their jobs. Gizmom [/QUOTE]
