[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 59761, member: 37"] My understanding is that feeding the cow does not make a large calf...it could make the cow fat and then lead to birthing problems. We feed grain to our cows, more during the winter about 6lbs, and have not had a birthing problem. I have read that if you feed alot of grain or high protein, the milk problem would be too much off it. Again haven't had that problem except from one cow who always has too much--and her calves never complain and catch it up in a couple weeks. Be careful because if you get your cows overfat they may not breed back + have problems. We have one "fat" cow but so far she hasn't had any problems, the AI guy always thinks she will. Good Luck!
