[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1766212, member: 25884"] Dairy heifers fed too much milk for too long that do not get ALOT of exercise, and get chunky, will get what we call fatty udder syndrome and it will sometimes affect their milking ability in the future. I have seen the calves on my nurse cow get fat at 5-6 months. But they are out running loose with her so are getting good amounts of exercise. If they were getting REAL fat, I would be concerned. There is no bull in there now so not worried that they will cycle early... which they are more likely to do if they are "well rounded" out too. [/QUOTE]
