Management of Cows and Heifers

1. A major objective of every cattle producer is to have each cow produce and wean a live, vigorous calf each year.

2. Heifers weighing 65 percent of their mature weight (650 to 800 pounds at 14 months of age)
should cave by 24 months.
Do not allow heifers too get too fat because it may cause difficulty calving and poor milking.
