[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11175"] Thanks for discovering my question from a few weeks ago. I only have the one heifer who has had the best care possible (all vaccinations, consistent early vet care for infected umbilical...present when I bought her, clean pen, exercise, etc). She was 350 # in early Jan, dairy tapes haven't predicted heer weight well, so we're guessing about 450 now. She has free choice of good alfalfa and about once or twice a week I give her Timothy. She gets about 5# of dairy 14 split between 2 feedings a day. Is this a proper diet for a 9 month old who won't be bred until Oct. I tried figuring out the TDN, but felt like I needed to be a scientist. She looks healthy, the vet always says she is great (and he is a cow person), so I assume I'm not giving her too much or too little calcium for right now. Thanks for educating me.
