[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1625214, member: 968"] I have to comment on the old wife's tale of breeding your feedlot heifers so they grow good. This is totally opposite of what I would think. Yes, they might weigh more because of the fetus and fluids - but, in all reality, the heifer will be putting her energy into the calf, not into making fat for finishing. Maybe not the 1st trimester, but after that. Just my two cents. On a side note - everyone is panicking and sending cattle in to our butcher. We had an appointment to have a cull cow processed into hamburg. When we dropped her off, he said he had processed 8 cows that were pregnant. Everyone trying to put meat in their freezer. People need to relax. [/QUOTE]
