[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 444259, member: 852"] That's fine. A full rumen shows on the left side... if he gets bloated the right side will be distended. YES. Don't do it. BTW, what is your definition of "looking better"? the more good quality, high protein feed he gets the better he will look -- if you take it away from him and force him to eat dead grass you're going to have a crummy looking pot bellied calf. What else do you want him to do??? He's a growing calf and he needs to eat. He's only 2, maybe 2 1/2 months old... he needs his grain. Quit fretting. [/QUOTE]
