I have 4 heifers that I slowly took off grain and put on a pure alfalfa diet, I was thinking I will get more money selling as heiferettes or bred heifers. They "appear" to be gaining weight faster than when they were on feed, and are getting very fleshy. Mean while I had 4 people call and ask for 1/4's, we always have finished the butchers on full feed. I pulled these 4 back about 6 weeks ago and went to the hay.
