    No. Side door job. My fault really. Wasn't mean enough with the fodder. 3 generations of easy calving so thought I would be ok but I guess you can't be too careful with heifers

    Fek, I'd have thought you'd get away without too much restricted feed with Bourvil. I had two pb part heifers calve to him at the start of the year and they calved themselves, calves v small but growing v well. I'll put up a pic soon.

    I was going to put bourvil on a few blue heifers I have, I might rethink it now...

    I wouldnt take the risk with blue heifers. muscle on muscle can bring problems. Play it safe in the first year I'd say
