[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1616792, member: 968"] Not to sound critical, but I would feed those heifers some corn. They are in a lower BCS than they "should" be for calving. BCS of the dam has a lot to do with the health of the calf. Her colostrum will be stronger, the calf will have more vigor at birth, the dam will have more energy to PUSH the calf out in a timely period. But - you have to weigh your costs vs the value of the calves. WSC can be pretty cost effective. [/QUOTE]
