Reproductive Performance in Replacement Heifers Has Long-Term Consequences on the Cow Herd
Abstract
Everyone wants good cows! These are females that wean a calf annually throughout their lifetime. A cow’s ability to do this depends heavily on her performance as a heifer. Thus, good heifers, make for good cows. There is no question that selecting the right heifers, rearing them properly, and getting them bred early in their first breeding season has long-term positive impacts on herd production and profitability.
