My Hereford heifer is getting so fat, I'm a little concerned. She is 18 months old , and hopefully 3 months pregnant- haven;t had her preg checked, but she hasn't come in heat since she was AI'd.
She has just been on grass, until recently when the grass dried up. For a few weeks she's been getting local grass hay maybe a half a bale a day, plus free choice minerals.
She looks like she swallowed a keg- well, she looks like the cow in my avatar only younger and red- she is in my avatar just directly behind the black cow.
I don't think it's good to have a fat heifer, but good nutrition is important too, right?
I guess I'd just like to know that it's ok that she looks like a blimp.
I'll try to get a picture posted tomorrow--
Thanks,
Susie
