Heifer getting quite the belly

[ISquaredCattle]

I have a March 2024 heifer I'm feeding for market heifer and she's really putting on a belly. The calves I'm feeding with her look just fine. Any suggestions?

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.

10# twice a day she weighs about 550 - 600

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 is getting fat.
every one is different, some need more feed just to grow, others need to be controlled or they just get fat on you. Do you feed her by herself or with other calves?

Lol i messed up, sorry, 5# twice a day.

She's with other calves in the morning but I halter her and feed her separately at night.

Post pics if you can so that tips can be more tuned to her needs/ condition.
