Heifer ration

[BEAST CATTLE CO]

Hi I am new to showing heifers and have always shown steers in the past. I just bought this heifer and am looking for a cost effective way to feed her.

I really like High Noon Feeds it’s not horribly expensive and it works.

Market or breeding heifer?

Probably market right now but we will see how she will develop and possibly breed her and show her as breeding in the summer

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.
