[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1532623, member: 16453"] For the last few years I have had trouble with birthweights of my heifers calves so this year I kept them with the cows and after I weaned the calves they all went into next door, an old tin mine which is about 500acres of just scrub, plenty of low quality feed. I do take in a small grain mix each day to supplement them mainly for a roll call. They do lose a bit of weight there, not much but don't put it on. This year all my heifer's calves varied from 30-39kg which was a lot better than some up around the 45kg mark of previous year. The cows all had significantly lower BW also, most with a 3 in front of them. Ken [/QUOTE]
