[QUOTE="Linda, post: 27195, member: 50"] I agree with you, Dun. Far better to continue with a sound feeding program and have a live, healthy pair. Overfeeding a heifer at any point in her life can cause permanent fat deposits in her udder. An overly fat cow of any age can also experience narrowing of the birth canal due to fat deposits, possibly contributing to dystocia. Cutting back on a heifer's or cow's feed in the last trimester simply to try for a smaller birthweight calf is a BIG mistake. Numerous university studies from around the country have proven that to be a foolish and futile course of action. [/QUOTE]
