Is there any way to fatten up an older holstein cow?? If there is I would really like to know. We have 2 holsteins, 1 is 2 and the other is well, older. I'm not really sure how old though. She looks like we are starving her. Last winter we fed her some of the best feed I have ever fed a cow, and lots of it. Heck, we bought the stuff, and she still looked like she was starving. I don't really care if she looks "fat" but a BCS of more than 2 would be nice. As an added note, we bought her out of a dairy, as a bred cull. She raised 3 calves this summer (on alfalfa pasture) that totaled 1375 lbs, the 2 year old raised 3 that totaled 1265 lbs.
