My school has just won a heifer who was AI six weeks ago. As we are new to showing purebred heifers (we usually only do the steer carcass comps) I am after some advice. How long is it safe to show her for before putting her out to paddock? What sort of protein % grain should we be feeding her. There is virtually no pasture here due to long dry spell and our steers are on a grain mix at 14% plus hay. I imagine she would be ok on that mix?
Thanks for your help.
