[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 271134, member: 9"] Overweight heifers or cows can have hard time breeding back. If you have good pasture, NO corn or other grains should be given...especially giving 5 gal to 8 females...(almost 3 quarts each). All animals need minerals & salt, however. If you want to train them to come to the pen, use couple of handfulls of range cubes (probably not more than 3# coffee can for all 8 of them) as a treat/reward for coming. If female has BCS much over 5 then you can have breeding back problems. [/QUOTE]
