Heifers


Steve and Mary Brand’s heifers were moved into a 250-head capacity, multi-age heifer facility last fall. The 100-by-250-foot facility includes Jenn-Aire thermostatically controlled curtain sidewalls to provide natural ventilation for the heifers. The Brands’ 900-cow operation was featured on a UWEX dairy modernization tour Wednesday.
