Hello,
This spring I bought 2 Holstein calves at 400# and I am wanting to take them to 7-800# then sell them, simple enough idea.
Both calves are on pasture, rye grass, and I was wondering how much grain they should be fed each. assuming they are around 500#.
On a side note can grain be fed directly or does it need to be ground up first. I have a chance to buy grain cheap from a local farmer and I will just keep it stored till next spring when I buy more calves and start this venture all over again.
thanks, Backforty
