I have a heifer who is due in about 2 months and looks skinnier then she did before. Should I worry about trying to add any weight on her or will this just make the baby bigger?

+1 on this. Many studies have shown that cows with a BCS of 5 or 6 breed back considerably easier and faster than cows with a BCS less than 5.randiliana":27ekomug said:Again, I would want to have her gaining or at the very least maintaining her weight now, you will have many more problems with her if she is skinny than if she is at a healthy weight. More issues than just having calving problems.
