This year is my first year weaning my calves before I sell them. What is everyone feeding their weaned calves.
I started out feeding some third cutting alfalfa; it was washed out some due to getting rained and snowed on before I was able to get into the bale. I have also been giving them the Sweet-pro cattle Kandy. Some of my calves have shitty back ends. I read somewhere on here not to feed third cutting to calves; I think it was because it has to much protein. Dad thinks it is due to them eating to much mineral. I just switched them over to 2nd cutting hay today. The calves are eating about a pound per day of the mineral. I could sure use some advisement on this situation.
