[QUOTE="cowgirl Ibara, post: 397716, member: 6625"] Hi im 17 and i raise holstein calves with my local FFA program. For several years i have been told by my advisers that by fair when our calves turn 4 months old that they should be eatting 8 bottle of milk and eatting about 3 pounds of grain a day. But I've been told that i should never feed my calves hays or grass hays because it gives them a hay belly. Most calves fill out really nice but mine always have sunkin in holes up by their hip bones and they are never bloomed by the time show comes. More people have told me that they wean their calves at 3 months or their calves only eat 4 bottles of milk so their appitie for hay and sweet feed increases. Some others say they always feed their calves hay because they have to grow from the belly up to have a nice full bloom. Does anyone have any advice or tips that may help me and my calves? Thanks :D [/QUOTE]
