[QUOTE="raykour, post: 854114, member: 16801"] I have a "chronic" 430 lb. heifer. She is on a 600 lb. frame so she is obviously underweight. She is bright and eats well. She has a chronic (dry) cough. She does not run a fever. Does anyone have any tips on how to get her to a reasonable slaughter weight? She is currently out on pasture, where she seems happiest. I have expected to find her hooves to the sky, but thus far have not. Should I just unload her or try to get her to a 600-800 lb. weight? Will feeding her concentrates help? [/QUOTE]
