Heifer Management Tips
-
Group heifers in pens, according to size, with adequate
ventilation and space. Ideally away from milk cows.
-
Provide clean, dry, draft free and comfortable housing
at all times.
-
Provide heifers with fresh, clean water at all times,
especially during the summer months.
-
Implement a strategic deworming schedule to prevent
parasite infestation.
-
Monitor heifers for growth on a regular basis.
Pay special attention to the heifers 2 months prior to breeding.
-
At breeding, heifers should be 800 pounds and 49-50
inches tall, approximately 13-14 months of age.
-
Monitor body condition score, heifers should score from
3 to 3+ throughout their growing period.
-
Test forages and provide a balanced ration to meet the
heifers' nutrient requirements.
-
Implement a sound vaccination program based on the
recommendations of your veterinarian.
