[QUOTE="Mcp220, post: 1647808, member: 40665"] We will be planning on selling them and possibly breeding one of the two heifers we have. The steers have already been dewormed and vaccinated as needed when they were babies. We've had 4 of them since they ranged between 3 days old and 1 week. We recently got the 2 heifers from someone we know in exchange for helping them move and store some of there stuff at our place. Those two are about 2-3 months older. They are a bit bigger weight wise and more broad, but our boys are catching up. I assume they will fill out a bit different since they are angus cross. The heifers are 100% angus from registered stock. Here's another question we were discussing the other day - The two heifers, we aren't certain they have been dewormed. My husband was wondering if we should just go ahead and deworm them to be safe and IF we do, should we do the boys again as well? He has been working and helping out on cattle farms for years, but when they are your own, little things come up here and there that make you question if we're doing it right! As for feed - they are on decent pasture. We rotate every few weeks to a month to keep it growing good. They get about 4-5 lbs of grain each in the evening. They all seem to be pretty healthy and happy :) [/QUOTE]
