PURINA HEIFERS MAKE MORE MONEY FROM EARLY FRESHENING
Holstein heifers at the Purina Research Farm average 750 lbs. of body weight at 15 months
of age, and freshen at about 24 months. That's about 6 months earlier than the national average
according to USDA.
How much extra milk and income do Purina-raised heifers make for dairymen?
