It's not advisable to grain a heifer that is ready to calve soon. The fetus at late gestation is focused on growing, so giving extra energy and protein to a springing heifer could encourage calving problems once the time comes for the heifer to give birth, no matter how thin the heifer is. You should leave off the grain until after the heifer has calved, and put her on a pound for the first few days then raise it up gradually over the coming two weeks until you're feeding her around 1% of her body weight as-fed per day. This is especially important if she's been on forage and hasn't had grain for a while, because you need to allow her rumen microflora time to adjust to the change in diet. If the 1% doesn't seem like it's doing much, then up it to 1.5% of her body weight. Usually feeding grain at 1 to 2% body weight is sufficient to get an animal on the road to gaining weight again.

Is there something extra you need to feed a bred heifer?
If it's needed, sure, since it all depends on what you're feeding your heifer already. If you're spoiling her with other good stuff like cracked corn, alfalfa pellets, a protein tub, horse-quality hay and loose mineral, forget about adding something extra, even if she's thinner than you like her to be and are trying to get her weight up. If, though, she's nice and fat already, you might want to consider tossing the the extra unnecessary feeds you're giving her like the protein tub, extra grain and even the pellets, especially if she's getting enough nutrition from the horse-quality hay and loose mineral when she's in her mid-gestation period. A heifer can't be too fat because she will have problems birthing when it's time for her to calve.

How much hay and grain should you feed heifer calves?
This depends on their weight and age, primarily. Usually you should be feeding heifers around 7% of their body weight in As-Fed ration (2.5% of their body weight in Dry-Matter ration) in hay, and only around 5 lbs of grain per animal per day. They should also have access to mineral and fresh water. Hay should NOT be moldy or dusty, as this will affect their health. It should comprise of at least 30% legume (more is better), because these heifer calves are growing and need a good source of protein to use for their growth and development. Grain should be kept at a minimum because if you feed to much, they will get fat too quickly, and you don't want this if you are feeding your heifers to be breeding females! Also, if they have access to pasture, let them have it; it's the cheapest source of feed you'll find. When they're on pasture, you don't have to feed grain, but feed a little hay to them (especially if the pasture contains legumes that are still in the growth stage) to prevent incidences of bloat. Most of the time you will not need to feed any supplements (except mineral) if they're on pasture. But when there is no grass growing, then you will have to feed hay and supplement with a little grain.
Name the four principal offerings Numbers 19?
