[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1798725, member: 6291"] 4 or 5 heifers don't eat near as much as cows. Just put a bale in a hay ring and let them have at it. No one can say how much they will eat because it varies a lot on the pasture conditions. Generally, you shouldnt be trying to fatten up heifers through the winter. You just want them to maintain and grow frame. Then with a spring green up they slick off and you breed them. I'm of the belief that you want to develope heifers as naturally as possible and as simular to your cow program as possible. If you have to push feed to heifers then they probably are not good candidates for cows. [/QUOTE]
