Fattening heifers for the summer or early fall market

Pickett, A.G.; Weber, A.L.
The two preceding tests with heifer calves were conducted without the

use of grass. Varying amounts of grain and protein supplements were fed with

silage during the winter season and then a full feed of grain was used to

finish these heifers for the summer or early fall market.

Now that experimental pasture is available, plans are to develop a system

of fattening heifers for the summer market or early fall market which

uses grass to the fullest extent. Dry lot feeding will continue as a check.
