Recipient heifer

Madden171

Hi
Quick question I have a recipient heifer 7 weeks in calf and wanted to move her out to grass but I would have to move her half a hour up the road would this be safe or would it cause stress on the heifer and put the embryo in the danger kzone Amy help appreciated
Thanks

leave her on the same diet she was on in the run up to transfer for as long as possible. Don't put her on a big flush of grass and maybe keep a bit of high energy ration to her for a while. What she carring to and what breeding??

Thanks she's carrying a limousin embryo and she's a chx heifer of a Angus bull I am planning on moving her as I have no silage left and have being feeding her hay for the past week my local vet advice me to let her out to grass but just worried that the journey and change in diet might be a bit to far for her

what breeding in the embryo. kinda in the same suituation as yourself have 3 heifers with parthenaise embryos about 55 days gone and silage for 10 days. we gona throw them out a rough unfertilised paddock and give them a kg of barley
