[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1681271, member: 14161"] I have never found that feeding a thin cow better will increase the calf’s weight at birth. We bought 70 thin, bred heifers in early March this year and immediately started them on 8 lbs of pea screenings pellets and all the good hay they would eat. Most calved unassisted and have kept on gaining while feeding a calf. The pellets were shut off a month ago and replaced with 18% lick tubs. Two best rules with cattle..... make sure you have enough feed and feed your cows! I find the heifers in the video undersized and while not thin they definitely are not in the best of condition for calving. [/QUOTE]
