We have a pen of yearling heifers that up til now have been on full feed (not sure which ones we wanted to show). We have never raised replacements we weren't showing, so what do you give them for the 2nd year? Thanks

Jill said:We feed Purina Grand 4 T Fyer and are very happy with our mix. The heifers are at between 850 and 1000 pound now, I wasn't sure what to do with them at this point.
Our show heifers we will continue to feed thru Oct. or Nov., but that really isn't the ideal fat wise. For the replacements, I just wasn't sure besides hay, mineral and salt what you give them, from what Red is saying, bring them off of feed slowly, get them bred and send them to pasture( if we have any this year)-is that right?
