[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1813329, member: 411"] Her being a heifer is part of why we are wanting to try this originally. Became more of a necessity as time has gone on. Make things all normal right off the bat has been our goal with her. It's been a learning curve for us too. Only milked a beef cow before and the milk wasn't the greatest. Definitely wouldn't have attempted this with the beef cow post calving time. Sounds like Seven is a cow to have! Hope she gives you a heifer this year! Definitely let us know how it goes and if you add another calf. Our cow came a bit "lean" so we have been trying to be careful with how much draw we put on her. We are putting two on her for now to keep up since her calf is large and drawing a lot. We plan to wean the steer calf younger and keep the heifer on her till we dry her up. Depending on how she's doing. We will be coming into green grass by then so it should work out ok. [/QUOTE]
