[QUOTE="BigBear56, post: 1663909, member: 38461"] I will admit this is completely out of my wheelhouse but my niece asked us last fall to take a calf to the fair this summer. My plan was to have her take a market feeder but her 4H advisor says all market animals must be sold and go to slaughter even feeders at this years fair. I’ve never heard of that but regardless my niece chose to take a breeding female project instead. The calf she chose dropped yesterday and the fair is late July. My plan was to creep feed her and wean around 90 days to give her time to get the calf broke and used to being washed, blown out etc. The cow really isn’t going to let us work with the calf with her around. My question is are there any recommendations on show feeds or is it not even worth it with a calf this young? Just stick with our normal starter feed? [/QUOTE]
