We bought a new cow last spring she calved in may and has a great looking bull calf.
But the cow looks skinny. We have been giving her 3 pounds of grain 16% protein and on pasture with hay free choice minerals.
The farm we got her from said that is the way her mom was also. We had the vet look at her and he gave her a body weight score of 41/2 that is why I give her more grain.
She is a breed of angus new design 878.
Has anyone else had this breed and do all the cow do this when feeding calvs
Thanks Jeff
