[QUOTE="garnetann, post: 1050000, member: 14395"] I have a bottle baby, off the bottle at about 3 months, been living in the backyard on good green grass and calf starter about 2 cups per day. She is almost 5 months old and fat as a butterball. I mean fat, when I compare her to the calves out to the pasture, she is round. She eats well, poops good, no problems, just fat. My plan is to put her out with the rest of the spring calves when we wean them in about a month. I did not want to send her out before them because she would not have any friends, this way, she will be with all the weaning calves. My question is about her being fat, am I doing something wrong? Should I be giving her different grain, no grain, more grain? Is she just fat because she is waited on and does not have to go very far for her food or water? More exercise...? Just want to make sure I am not doing something bad for her in allowing her to be so fat... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
