Feeding

[TERM101]

I am just wondering what to start feeding a black angus calf(about 3 months old) seeing as winter is coming along and grass will be scarce. As he ages what should I feed him(feedwise, like pellets) and what type of hay is best?

Also, can someone give me a little information on vaccines, what to give him, and when?

Start out with high quality hay (whatever variety of grass it is). As far as pelted feed you may want to talk to your feed rep. as there are many ways to feed a calf and many feeds you can use. Contact your local large animal vet & he will be able to tell you what vaccines are good for your area.
