Cull rate and age at calving both steal money
Raising heifers economically isn’t just about feed prices, as herd management practices can make a big impact on the bottom line.
“The number one factor affecting the cost of raising heifers is the herd culling rate. If you can reduce that herd culling rate, you have a huge impact on your overall cost of raising heifers,” said Jud Heinrichs, professor of dairy nutrition at Penn State.
Heinrichs studied herd culling rates to see when it made the most economic sense to keep or cull animals.
“Where the best opportunity for you to keep that animal around and make a profit?” he asked.
