Response to how much to feed pregnant heifer?

from Jeanette Springer (jeni@dwave.net)
To Jonathan Lindvall who has a bred holstien heifer. She does'nt need alfalfa hay untill she freshens. It is too high in calcium. It would be better to feed her a bale of grassy hay a day and cheaper too.If she is too thin, you could give her some grain,also, but otherwise grain isn't necessary. Then, when she has her baby, alfalfa hay is the best.
