One оf yоur cоw-cаlf clients hаs come to you for аdvice on managing his 2-year-old first calf heifers. He tries to have heifers calve out in the spring ahead of the main cow herd. He uses a low birth weight bull on his heifers but he’s had trouble with dystocia in the past and many of his heifers don’t re-breed as quickly as he’d like. Also, morbidity and mortality rates are higher in his calves born to first calf heifers. During the past few years drought conditions have limited his hay crop and he’s had to buy hay, but it’s usually poorer quality due to hay shortages. His cows and heifers are on a diligent vaccination schedule and there are no signs of infectious disease in the herd. His heifers are due to start calving in a month and he would like advice on what to do to help avoid the problems he’s had in past years. Based on the information given, which of the following answers would be the best advice to provide to this producer?
