[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 369404, member: 4353"] Again it has to do with the extreme. Overdoing the creep feeding to the extent that a lot of fat accumulates in their virgin udders, and yes, it might reduce future milk production. On the other hand stunting the heifers for a lack of nutrition isn't going to do their future poductivity any good either. Helping them through a difficult time is going to do more good than harm. Just weigh them before you start creep feeding to get a better indication who's dam isn't doing a good job. [/QUOTE]
