Fast Growing heifer

[fieldscattle]

We have a heifer that is growing fast.  She is framing 7 now and she is a simmy.  We have full sibs and flush mates that frame barely sixes.  Any suggestions on how to get her to stop growing so fast?  daughter's show heifer.

Cut the protein and add some fat.  What are you feeding her now?

Exactly! Try 60% corn and 20% cotton seed hulls or beet pulp, 10% oats, 5% soybean meal, 5% molasses.  Check your PM.
