    What to use?

    What would you give a bred heifer that was hauled home last weekend if she gets a runny nose? Not sure she is getting sick. It may just be me worrying too much. But if she does get sick what would you use? Gonna keep a real close eye on her today and tomorrow just in case.

    50/50 Feed?

    Our local feed store has a pelleted feed that is basically 50% Soy hulls and 50% ddg. Anyone know anything about it? Suppose to be 12-13% protein. It is cheaper than 11% corn and was just wondering if it is junk. I know some of you are much more learned in the nutrition department than me.

    Heifer Bull?

    We have always been a commercial operation. My grandpa and dad always used purebred bulls, sometimes they were registered and sometimes they were not. They never cared a lick about epd's.
