[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1192123, member: 5644"] Have they been checked safe in calf? The reason I ask is because it is not uncommon for halter heifers to be difficult to settle. Some feed the heifers heavily to get the weight on them to show, and some get too much interior fat and it makes it hard for the egg to pass. I am not saying all show heifers are this way, but many are, especially those raised by non- farm kids. The veterinarian who bought our daughter's commercial halter heifers at the fair told us that. He bought a lot of heifers to support the kids. He told Elizabeth that he knew that he didn't haven't to worry about hers, mostly because her heifers were kept pastured and had to walk, instead of being stalled like the others. The heifers may be low priced because they are kept at a school barn. Schools want them gone ASAP after the shows are over. [/QUOTE]
