[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 152545, member: 852"] I don't recall how old this one is, but my guess is he needs more grain. More specifically, I'd UP the [i][u]corn[/u][/i] ration. Holsteins don't have a lot of "muscle" on their hind ends or really anywhere, but with enough feed you can make them look pretty good. Another way of putting that is feed them to the point that they're "overconditioned" - the "polite" way of saying they're too fat. :lol: Here's a heifer that's a little heavier than a holstein should probably be, but I like mine to have a bit more fat cover, especially in the wintertime.

[img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/897828/calf42.JPG[/img] The easiest way to put that "muscle" on is with feed, not exercise. [/QUOTE]
