[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1710182, member: 38220"] I will start bumping the replacement heifers with about 2 lbs. of 24-28% cake starting about 60 days out from breeding to get them off the alfalfa, but put a little bloom on them. Last year we had a pasture leased across the road for a heifer pasture, so as soon as they were done with the course of MGA to synch them, we turned them out for 2 weeks on grass before AI breeding. I think this was a better management practice than going from pen to pasture after AI breeding as they were adjusted to new grass pasture, came in for 3 days for AI with grass hay and then back out to pasture.
