[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 490085, member: 968"] OK "smartie pants" (Dun) - you were the one I was referring to in the other post about having the resources (and I'll add - the genetics) to raise your heifers on roughage only. It sure would be nice. My heifers are usually around a 6.5 to 7 prior to calving, but they aren't that by breeding :shock: They're usually closer to a 5.5 by then. My hardest females to keep adequate weight on is the 3 year olds. The 2 yr olds come thru winter pretty fat & sassy, then by fall, after raising their calves, they have lost quite a bit of BCS & are heavy pregnant. So they are the thinnest group I have going into calving, even tho I keep them seperated with the 2 yr olds away from the mature cows. Surprisingly, they gain pretty well on grass nursing their 2nd calf. [/QUOTE]
