[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1781267, member: 968"] Maybe you do not know the difference between fat in the udder and the extra skin in the udder area? I do not want to SAY your heifers are fat. YOU said they were, but you don't want to lower nutrition on your program if they are not fat, just normal udders. Fine line for many new people to determine. Most people look at their animals and think "they are beautiful" - it is VERY difficult to be critical of your own animals. We call that 'barn blind". Some people's cattle are deathly skinny and the owner can't SEE it. Pictures would help. When we refer to Body Condition Score, this is it: [URL unfurl="true"]https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/body-condition-scoring-of-cows.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
