[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 960512, member: 1974"] I don't know Australian climate & pastures, but here in the USA we have wide variations in climate & pasture conditions. Animals acclimated to one climate and forage may take a couple years to acclimate to another climate & forage. You could have a worm problem. Were they grain fed as they were raised, and now they are not? A heifer grown on a heavy grain diet is going to look pretty, until they've got a calf on them and are expected to raise a calf, get rebred, and finish growing just on grass or hay. Is the mob next to them also 3 year olds with 2nd calves? Were they raised on your place, or purchased? [/QUOTE]
