Benefits of Weighing Heifers

  • Weighing can be done with weigh cells under a cattle crush, or by simple weigh band measurement. Both give good levels of accuracy.

  • Provides information on growth rates and performance to target.

  • Allows feeding plans to be adjusted to keep growth performance on target.

  • Ensures heifers are put to bull at the correct size (not just age).

  • Weighing enables correct dosing with anthelmintics for best effect.

  • Weighing gives more control of the whole heifer rearing programme and provides valuable information for changes to the rearing programme in the future.
