Heifer CONSULTWelcome to Heifer CONSULT (Collaborative, Online, Novel, Science-based, User-friendly, Learning, Tool). This project was funded by USDA grant 2014-09684. Heifer CONSULT was produced by Dr. Bob Cushman (USDA MARC), Dr. Rick Funston (University of Nebraska), Dr. Dale Grotelueschen (University of Nebraska-GPVEC), Dr. Sandra Johnson (Kansas State University), Dr. Scott Lake (University of Wyoming), Dr. Bob Larson(Kansas State University), Dr. Sherri Merrill (Allen, Kansas), Dr. Dave Smith (Mississippi State University), and Dr. Brad White (Kansas State University). Last updated 10/9/16 Heifer CONSULT is designed to help beef cow-calf producers improve the reproductive success of their heifers and young cows. If a producer is not satisfied with the current reproductive success of replacement heifers and/or first-calf heifers, this CONSULT will help identify problem areas to be addressed and provide possible solutions. Please work closely with your veterinarian to create the best heifer development program for your herd. As you work through this program, you will be asked several questions regarding the reproductive status of your herd and management practices on your operation. Please use information from pregnancy checking your herd, preferably shortly after the breeding season. If you did not preg check your cattle, you can use calving data. Below each question, you will see this icon: The following chart shows the terms that will be used to describe the various stages of heifers and young cows that will be discussed in Heifer CONSULT.
