I know the needs of a heifer in the last 6 weeks prior to birth need more then just a open heifer but I need help with the what right now she is on grassy alfalfa and salt blocks, and sweetlyx tub so what should I add to make these heifer develope the calf the best geneticly possible and create the milk for the first feeding
 
Water, a good mineral for your area and a good quality hay or pasture. She doesn;t need all the fancy supplements. Maybe after she calves and the calf starts puting a drain on her body reserves, but not now.
