Heifer disposition and bonding of lambs to heifers
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1987Abstract Abusive and non-abusive (tolerant) heifers were individually identified during pen confinement with young sheep. Physical aggression by abusive heifers toward lambs included butting and kicking. Two groups of three 75-day-old lambs confined with tolerant heifers developed a bond after 20 days and a strong bond after 55 days.

Replacement heifer development is a critically important area for veterinarians to offer production medicine advice to their beef-producing clients. Productivity for beef cattle herds has been shown to increase when a high percentage of heifers become pregnant early in the first breeding season.55 A producer's heifer development program should result ...

The purpose of this paper is to provide practicing veterinarians a recommended procedure for determining their clients' cost of raising replacement heifers. With these costs in mind, practicing veterinarians can play a major role in helping beef cow operators make profitable replacement heifer decisions.

But spaying has been a common procedure in the western states for years. It started in Wyoming and it was a management program. When controlled weight studies were conducted, spayed nonimplanted heifers failed to gain up with the intact nonimplanted.

Developing replacement beef heifers
Theriogenology, 2008The replacement heifer represents the next generation of genetic progress for the cow herd. Producers invest a substantial amount of capital in these females, even if they fail to become pregnant. In order to get a return on this investment, it is imperative that these heifers become pregnant early in the first breeding season, calve with a minimum of ...

With the heifer in a squeeze chute, a 6-inch incision is made at the left paralumbar fossa. The ovaries are removed with 8-inch bandage scissors and the incision closed with a single, everting horizontal-mattress suture. Spayed heifers can bring a premium price because they are guaranteed open.
