[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 620784, member: 4353"] I'll leave all the bred females including the first calvers on the corn till 15 Feb and from then on just hay and it doesn't need to be great hay either, no protein supplement required. 2 months on just hay is long enough not to worry about excessive intra-uterine growth in the first calvers and they will have enough reserves for good quality colostrum and to start cycling soon after calving. Personally I would be very tempted to put the weaned heifers back with the cows on the corn to get as much growth and condition on them prior to the breeding season as possible. Depending on how they have been fed now off course. If your fences are good enough you might be OK, but very few fences will stop a mature bull when there is heifers in season on the other side of the fence. [/QUOTE]
