About how much and how often should I be feeding my heifers? They are about 275lbs and are doing very well. I think I am feeding them alittle to much because they are starting to get alil to fat. I feed them 1 scoop of Co-Op Calf Feed 1 time a day. They are SLOWLY gaining weight, but they are where I want them now. I was thinking just start feeding them the same amount but like every other day? That sound about right? I intend to have them bred once they get big enough. Not sell for beef.
