[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15030"] I TOTALLY agree with Frankie on the listening to the vet. YES! If your heifer is too fat before she calves, not only will she calve harder, but the excess fat goes to the bag, lessening the amount of milk she will give and probably even the quality. I ruined three fine heifers this last year because I over conditioned them. PLUS! all three had to be pulled, so you can see I fed a big problem into my cattle. BUMMER! At any rate, lack of exercise was also a problem that added to my other mistakes. After the calf is born, you can grain her to help keep the milk and her health up. I think that I would say a lean heifer, calving the first time is MUCH better and healthier than one that is too fat. [email=Sailor_One@hotmail.com]Sailor_One@hotmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
