How does our March shorthorn heifer look? Is she to fat or should we keep doing what we are doing? She is eating 15#/day of a ration of 3/4 rolled corn, 1/4 rolled oats, beet pulp, 1.5#/day supplement pellet. We will not show until late spring unless we go to expo in February.

Thanks
 
I agree with Killala. She looks OK, but I definitely wouldn't put anymore on her. What you have to be aware of is that getting these show heifers too fat too early causes them to develop fat deposits in their udder, which will affect milk production later. Good luck showing her! Let us know how she does.
