Winter Feed Costs Of Heifers Studied
University of Missouri research shows winter feed costs for replacement beef heifers could drop up to 25 percent by reducing intake without harming fertility. Trials tested high medium and low energy rations and found minimum TDN needs for breeding readiness vary, with 43 to 67 pounds per head daily. Low energy delayed cycling but some heifers conceived in spring.
