We have a December 2024 born shorthorn heifer that we can not seem to get to gain any weight. We feed umbarger and have never had issues in the past. She is currently on a ration of 9lbs of umbarger payload, 1/2 of a 3lbs scoop of barley (not 1.5 lbs because the barley is so light), 1.5lbs depth charge, 1 3lb scoop of umbarger caboom (but it's not 3lbs because its a light weight material). She gets this ration in the morning and again in the evening. It works out to just over 21lbs per day. She is stalled during the day and then turned out at night and has free choice hay all night. She also has access to a vitaferm mineral tub during turn out. Any suggestions to get this gal to gain some weight?
