[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1318254, member: 24565"] Your ability to get them feed, the availably of feed and the quality of the feed. Good grass/forage, additional concentrate, supplement or whatever to keep them in good condition, have energy to grow, produce milk and to allow their body to have energy to cycle and to attach the fertilized egg. Too much attention is usually on time to calve or age of heifers and not on the planned management to meet their needs. Some ways to help the situation: do not breed to bulls with excess growth so that the calves are not demanding a lot of milk. Keep calving ease in mind either through bulls with well shaped calves for easy birth or bulls with high CED. Have the heifers in good shape but not fat at calving. Be sure that the heifers are not having to compete for feed against bigger and more controlling cows. [/QUOTE]
