[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 809470, member: 14282"] We background our heifers through the winter at about a 1.25 to 1.5 lbs/day gain, turn them on grass in May and let them gain what they will. Breed the first of August for 48 days. We want heifers that breed on our grass that don't require grain or energy supplementation. There are all sorts of things one can do to manage, support fertility/productivity, ultimately it depends on your selection goals. Our selection goals are for cattle that don't need flushing except what they can get from the grass. [/QUOTE]
