Ep 170: Chasing That "Elusive" Second Calf
Manage episode 422560149 series 2825391
The cost of not getting the second calf from a heifer you either bought our developed is a big hit. Karla Wilke, (University of Nebraska) joins us today as we go through several discuss points regarding getting that "elusive" second calf. While some would say “don’t baby the girl”, there could be some flaws in that theory. And what about the genetics we are breeding into our herd and how it should relate to our physical environment. It's a balance between too much and not enough in managing the first calf heifers after calving, because too far in either direction is a loss in profitability.
Plus a bonus topic today as we discuss GPS dog collars and the use to manage our Livestock Guardian Dogs with Spot On Fence. Use custom discount code LGD125 at spotonfence.com for $125 off!
