[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 621371, member: 6198"] I would not put the open hiefers with the bred cows due to calve. 1. you might get a dumb hiefer with a dumb idea, and clean up on a cows colostrum. That's 5 weeks of hard work for a cow to make good colstrum for it to just ended up in that dumb hiefers gut doing no good, but packing on the pounds. 2. If the hiefers decide to come into heat, you'll get the boss cows thinking they should go bulling that hiefer. We have always had problems when that happens. With in 24 hours we see premies, or backwards calves. Never fails. 3. hiefers and cows should be fed differently. The cows you have do not need an abundant of protien. The hiefers however are still growing and need good protien to grow but not too fast or too fat. The idea is to get them into good condition to get bred (if that is what you want). They should not have to establish themselves in the cow pecking order. [/QUOTE]
