Anyone here ever feed out a heifer only to have her calve....
Long story but this is the short version... Proves vets are human. Never saw the heifer cycle, had her preg checked in nov. came up openafter being with the heifer bull for the summer
Vet said she had a underdeveloped repo tract.
Anyhow, put her in the freezer beef group and been feeding her out. 20-25 lbs a day of corn, corn gluten and soy hulls for seven weeks....
She had been bagging up, just thought it was fat on the udder?
Well she started to spring, got her in the headgate and you guessed it CALF....
Bull got her first cycle looks like? Should calf anyday.
She is a big heifer, heavy I would say a BCS of 7 or so.
Anyone ever been here? If I would have been able to get a slaughter date sooner. She would have been gone.
Time will tell if she should have been?
