Heifer Replacement Management is a systematic decision-making framework within dairy herd management that determines the optimal selection, rearing, and deployment of young female cattle for future milking roles, distinguishing it from general herd management by focusing specifically on the cost-effective replacement of culled or aging cows with biologically and economically viable heifers.
