[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 450290, member: 5106"] Well the reason we feed dairy calves differently is because they are bottle fed and weened at 3 months and we go for a certain frame structure so they can milk well when they calve. If these are just for you than I would say you should be safe to raise them safely on grass if they have been on milk and a good ration before hand. However when you want milk from them grass and just hay give a different taste to the milk and probably won't give you a very high butterfat%. But essentially the answer is yes you can grass feed Holsteins. How old are they now and what have you been giving them? [/QUOTE]
