Southwest OK | I'm hard on my heifers. Usually 65-70% breed up. My second calvers are treated just like the mature cows. Average 87% on them, 92% on cows. When I fed heifers to get a 90% conception, my second calvers were averaging 75% conception. Much better for me financially to sell more heiferettes and fewer open cows.
I don't ever have fat cows. While you can't starve a profit into them, you can feed the profit right out of them. | |
