[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15029"] Fat heifers are a bit tricky. You're right, excess fat is not good. But when a heifer calves, she'll lose weight nursing her calf. If she's not in good condition she may not breed back on time for that second calf. So it's a balancing act. I have to admit that mine are probably too fat when they calve. But with the right genetics they calve unassisted and breed back. I'd pay more attention to the vet's opinion than the neighbor's. Good luck...
