		Heifer gifts are also unique because they make funny sounds, like "quack," "buk-buk," or "bzzzzz." Your idea of economic salvation might be a big raise or a surging stock in your portfolio.
		Around the world, Heifer is working with struggling people, helping determine what kind of animal or plant is right for their environment, training them in how to care for and work with the animal, and preparing them for their gift.
		Part of the Heifer tradition is "passing on the gift." Recipients are expected to pass on the first female offspring of their animal, along with the training they received, to another person in need, helping to share the wealth.

	The Economics of Heifer Contracting, AS-0006-00
		The 175 number results from multiplying 200 (heifers owned by the producer) by 21 (the average months that a heifer is with the grower), and dividing by 24 (the average number of months required to raise a heifer).
		For example, the grower spends the same amount of time with the heifers as did the producer, the grower has the same feed costs as the producer, and the grower has the same facility costs as did the producer.
		Charges for heifer contracting using a per day arrangement have to be around $1.50 per heifer per day to cover the grower's costs.

	Dairy Heifer Contracting: Motives, Forms, and Arrangements, AS-0005-00
		If the heifer dies, the grower is paid up to the point the heifer dies and the producer accepts the loss of the heifer's value.
		Heifers are weighed when they are delivered to the grower and again when they are brought back to the producer.
		When a heifer dies under the per pound form, the producer loses the value of the heifer, while the grower loses the variable costs of raising the heifer.

	WAR 91 Heifer-in-Trust: a model for sustainable livestock development?
		Heifer calves that are to be repaid must be returned to the project at one year of age.
		While foundation heifers do not have their first calving until they are aged three years in the model, it is likely that some heifer calves born to the foundation heifers will have their first calving as early as 24 months of age.
		By insuring the foundation heifer, project sustainability is ensured because exactly 100 heifers are repaid to the scheme and all participants are able to repay their loan.The scheme also remains sustainable at the participant level as the average number of cows per participant free of debt is greater than one.

	Heifer Foundation \| About Us
		What We Do Heifer Foundation was established by the board of Heifer International in 1990 to build an endowment to generate ongoing support for the work of Heifer International, to educate people on how planned charitable giving supports Heifer International's work and to serve as a fiduciary for our donors.
		For organizations such as Heifer Foundation, whose primary purpose is to provide for another entity(ies) through fundraising, the best method for measuring that stewardship is the ratio of total expenses to total assets.
		Heifer International was founded on a simple belief: ending hunger begins with giving people the means to feed themselves.

	Monitoring Dairy Heifer Growth
		Monitoring dairy heifer growth and development will insure that calves are on target to reach a weight of 1350 pounds at calving, with a height of 54 inches at the shoulders, and a body condition score of 3.25 to a 3.5 (5 Point scale) at 24 months of age (Figure 1).
		Optimally, the Holstein heifer should reach puberty at 9 to 10 months of age, begin cycling on a typical basis, and have her first insemination at 14 to 15 months of age (Table 1) to calve at 23 to 24 months.
		Heifers should not be allowed to exceed a body condition score of 2.5 to 2.75 during the period from 3 months of age to puberty, as a higher score may lead to fat deposition in the mammary gland.

		If the ninth heifer was sacrificed by Ishmael ben Phiabi as the Mishnah claims, then that was in 15/16 CE and was coincidental with the Messiah achieving adulthood under the law at 20 years of age.
		This tenth heifer symbolised the sacrifice of Messiah and the dedication of the new Temple in 30/31 CE built not of human hands but with the Holy Spirit and which was composed of blocks of living stones.

	Heifer Inventory and the Economics of Replacement Rearing
		Heifers are a high cost item when expenses are divided among the various enterprises on the farm.
		Heifers will not return on the producer's investment of approximately $1000.00 to $1300.00 per heifer at 24 months of age until they are lactating.
		Calving heifers greater than 24 or 25 months is not a profitable venture, simply because "we have the land available." If heifers are "cleaning-up" after the lactating cows, additional feed must be put on the bunk for these heifers, but more important, the lactating cows are more profitable in converting bunk ration to milk.

	What's a bred heifer worth this fall?
		I expect history to confirm that heifer calves born in 2001, bred in 2002, and producing their first calf in 2003 will be the most valuable heifer during this decade.
		That's because the sum of a heifer's net incomes starting in 2005, 2006 and 2007 will progressively go down as increasingly fewer calves are born during the peak of the current beef price cycle.
		In summary, a bred heifer is worth all of her future annual net incomes, including her future cull value, while in a rancher's herd discounted back to today's dollars.

	HEIFER MASTITIS
		However, recent investigations have identified significant problems with mastitis in unbred, and bred heifers with clinical flare-ups of mastitis occurring at calving time in infected heifers.
		If greater than 10% of heifers per year have clinical mastitis within the first two weeks of lactation, then this may indicate a problem.
		Treatment of heifers** for mastitis prior to calving is an extra-label use of the drugs and can only be used under supervision of the herd veterinarian within the context of a valid veterinary/client/patient relationship.

		As we read in Numbers 19, the Red Heifer is to be taken to a place outside the camp, verse 3, and be slaughtered there.
		As stated in the fourth book of the Torah, Numbers Chapter 19, an unblemished red heifer in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed, is to be slaughtered and burned and its ashes made into a liquid paste used in the ceremony for purification from sin.
		The red heifer is but another piece in the prophetic timetable which is moving closer to the end of the age and the return of Messiah.

	Rod Dreher on Religion & War on National Review Online
		As Gorenberg explains, the ashes of a flawless red heifer — an extremely rare creature — were required by the ancient Hebrews to purify worshipers who went into the Temple to pray.
		As it turned out, during the three years of waiting for the heifer to reach the ritually mandated age of sacrifice, white hairs popped out on the tip of her tail.
		If this is a real red heifer, and strict Orthodox rabbis have declared her worthy of sacrifice, then a lot of Jews in Israel will take that as a sign that a new phase of history is about to begin.
