Details: Unique Feed Trial: “Easy Keeper” Subset While breeding in the corrals, we conducted a feed trial, feeding the heifers a maintenance ration from a TMR mixer of silage and straw. Each heifer was weighed before breeding and again at pregnancy checking. Through this trial, we were able to identify the ones that thrived on the program, showing exceptional feed efficiency and the potential to be easy keepers—a valuable trait for any operation looking for cost-effective maintenance. Data-backed selection: Heifers that gained weight efficiently during the trial. A unique insight into future performance as low-maintenance cows.
We are offering a select group of bred heifers, carefully bred to proven low birthweight bulls for easy calving. These heifers were bred for just 28 days and are due to calve the first week of March.
