[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15028"] I have a beautiful Cream White face heifer, just turned a year old a couple of days ago, weighs right on 700 lbs. Vet says she's in fine physical condition. She appears to be in fine shape, but she's not at all fat -- hard as a rock with no excess fat on her. I have had neighbors tell me that I'm doing her an injustice by not fattening her. Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't excess fat in the rudimentary udder interfere with later milk production? And won't excess fat in the abdominal cavity interfere with later conception/fertility? And won't excess fat also predispose her to Ketosis at calving? Ann B [/QUOTE]
