They take more management when feeding, they can get fat on you overnight it seems like. I would find a good developer feed with a protein % over 14, and feed her 2 percent of her body weight to start. Just keep an I on her and adjust the feed according to how she is developing.

Market or breeding heifer?

Not sure what your looking for, is it a slick show, what does he weigh, when is your show? He looks good, I would try and get some more fill in him, and some more finish. For finish I would start him on Stabilized Rice Bran, start with a pound a day and work him up to 2 pounds a day. For fill we...

I would breed her to a low birth weight bull (calving ease) for the first time, a live calf and healthy cow are better than a dead calf or Cererian. You might look and breeding her to a low birth weight Main Anju or something like that. I'm not positive but you should be able to register...

She looks fine may be just in a stage of growing, have you wormed her? She definitely is not getting fat, You may want to even increase her feed a little more. The feed you are feeding her is designed for heifers intended to used as a breeding heifers after reading the label, you will want to...

That's to much grain in my opinion, I would cut het down to 8-10 pounds of grain for a short time to see if she will slim down then just feed her 2% percent of her body weight. You are currently feeding more than 3% of her weight, she is getting way more calories than she needs to grow, so she...

you might try Fresh & Feminine, there are a few reviews on this site that say they had good results from it.

Feeding a market heifer is quite tricky, you can't feed them like a steer they will get fat on you. How much is she getting a day, how much does she weigh. any pictures, it might help to see what she is looking like.

No, I have not but I remember quite a few discussions by other who had, should be able to find them in the archives. This one is from 2012, and they were complaining about $15 bags of show feed I would love $15 show feed. https://www.steerplanet.com/threads/show-heifer-ration.43351/post-364155

Trying to go on the cheap side can be great if you make sure and get all the correct amount of nutrients and correct balance of protein and fat, along with all the vitamins and minerals a steer requires. Look up the AAOK feed ration on this site and see what he mixed and the amount, it was a...

I moved over from Breeders World when Red started this site, I have seen it grow and now dwindle down to where we are at now. I learned a lot. I found out that Shorthorn people don't seem to agree on anything. Watched the progression of several defects TH, and PHA, and a few more. Followed...

We had 2 Here I Am calves 3 years ago, they were both fine, the next year, 2 Chosen 1 calves the following year, both were dog gentle as well. The cow as well as where they come from and how they are handled as babies can play a big part in attitude also.

There is a chance she could be a freemartin, may have been twins and the other twin never completely developed and either passed with the afterbirth or was absorbed in the womb.

Great job, I was close on the weight.

How much are you feeding her, what is that fat and protean content? Market or Breeding?

1350-1400 lbs. Hard to say, he is definitely deep sided. Good luck at your show.

0ne to 2 months, most products will be the same time frame

Manna-pro Max-e-Glo, but I have used other, as long as it is stabilized, plain rice bran has a shorter shelf life and loses nutritional value over time

Was that weight empty, is so you can make it no problem, from May 12 to June 4 He gained 3.65 lbs a day, if he continues on that pace he will weigh 1058, if you feed him 12 pounds of grain and get him to drink at least 6 gallons of water prior to weigh in, he should weigh around 1118. You want...

I posted in your other thread, Stabilized Rice Bran, give them a smooth finish and has worked wonders for us, cost less than a lot of the other supplements as well.
