My heifer is coming back from her breeder's place very soon and is pregnant with her first calf. (clapping) I'm super excited, but I have some worries because no one (my breeder, my Ag teachers, my cattle showing buddies) can agree on what to do when it comes to feeding her. One of my concerns is if I feed her too much, or what she was eating before, the baby will get too big and cause a bumpier experience. I have read on here that the last 60 days are major growing days for the fetus, and that is really interesting (to me, at least), I just don't know how to apply that information. Here was her feeding (2X/Day) BEFORE she went back to her breeder, for reference:
-2 lbs. Cottonseed Hulls
-3 lbs. Beet Pulp
-4 1/2 lbs. Oats
-6 lbs. Sweet Feed
Thanks for your Help.
