  1. What do I charge to raise replacement beef heifers for someone else? Updated: February 08, 2011
  2. I just bought a heifer calf that is very small for her age. She was born in April to an old cow who didn't produce enough milk to feed her. She was put with a cow that had lost her calf. She was weaned early and put out with the older heifers. She weighs about 250 lb. I am wondering if she will ever catch up weight-wise, or will she always be stunted? Is there something I can feed her to help her catch up to her normal weight? Will this affect her breeding ability later on? Updated: October 12, 2010
  3. Can I implant possible replacement heifer calves that are nursing their mothers and not hurt their future reproductive performance? Updated: November 07, 2008
  4. A producer is planning to purchase around 800 crossbred beef heifers. He has never fed heifers before. I have heard over the years mixed success with MGA. Would you use MGA, and at what level, implant and schedule? Are other additives needed? Updated: October 22, 2008

  10. I have a heifer that is about three weeks from calving. I was keeping her with two calves that were just being weaned, and they nursed her overnight. I wanted to know if they got all of her colostrum and, if so, will any more come down when she gives birth? Updated: February 18, 2008
