[QUOTE="Limomike, post: 1004940, member: 3400"] Kinda got into this same discussion last night with a retired cattleman last night. Bred cows will eat as much as a cow with a calf on her side. Our discussion was about during the winter was it harder for the cow or the calf to make it? He said the calf has a harder time because of nothing much to eat during the winter, and hits the mama cow hard for milk, therefore draining the cow of her nutrients. My argument was the the calf eventually starts eating hay too, and feed, and grows just as well. [/QUOTE]
