Treat Her Like a Cow: Building Fertile, Profitable Heifers

“The more you treat her like a cow, the better cow she will be.” That was one of the standout messages from the Beef Cattle Research Council’s webinar, Raising Heifers for Reproductive Success.

Water is pumped from the well into troughs in the barn. Cattle are kept away from the pond with a dirt berm and concrete barriers.
