[QUOTE="Alice, post: 468136, member: 3873"] Well, I searched it for just a minute. From the snippets I read, some say yea, and some say nay to hay and baby calves. The one article I did read from some university said that the reason behind it was calves should begin eating dry calf starter grower which which stimulates rumen health and development and hay does not, so the calf should not be offered anything other than calf starter grower...ya' don't want the calf to fill up on the hay and not eat the starter grower. Here's the link. It's a 1996 article, so that could be obsolete by now...or it may be right on the money.
