    The frosty eared cow looks like a Brown Swiss Angus cross. Possibly half of each. She may make you another nurse cow? My nurse cow that I run right now. Is a full brown Swiss that we breed back to an Angus.

    Fat calves? Bellies?

    I posted the above post originally, I found out that not giving the calves enough protein and not giving them 1&1/2% to 2% percent of their body weight in grain a day causes them to stuff themselves with hay and not put on weight very well.

    Thank you all for the reply's! I had bought a bag for my aunt's rabbits and I read the back it looks like it's for most animals, but not sheep. So I was curious about the nutritional value for calves, and if it's worth it price wise.

    Feeding lightweight calves

So I may go...

But google says it's 45/50% protein, do any of you feed lightweight calves that are also on forage and have a mixture that is cost effective for raising them to 500/600 pounds and reselling them. I know different areas different feeds...
