SGBI Junior Brain Bowl Practice Test

What distance is recommended for daily exercise of a heifer?

¼ to ½ mile 1 to 2 miles 2 to 3 miles ½ to 1 mile

Correct Answer:

½ to 1 mile

Explanation:

Growing heifers benefit from regular, moderate movement to build muscle, strengthen joints, and keep their metabolism healthy. A daily distance of about half a mile to one mile hits that balance—long enough to exercise the legs and lungs, but not so long that a young animal tires or becomes stressed. If the distance is much shorter, the activity may not be enough to yield these benefits; much longer distances can lead to fatigue or weight loss, especially in younger or smaller animals or in hot weather. Use pasture time or a safe walking route to reach roughly half a mile to a mile each day, and adjust for age, condition, and environment.
