[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 568155, member: 3739"] I'm not MM but I'll answer your question anyway: yes, you shouldn't worry about her not eating hay. Grain is the better feed to developing a calf's rumen because of the energy and protein content it contains that is adequate for the microflora growth in the rumen. Hay is only second to that, because there isn't as much CHOs and proteins in it as grain. Secondly, she will eventually eat hay on her own, all in due time. [/QUOTE]
