[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1205119, member: 852"] Picture? Usually plan on feeding grain until 400-500lbs, then most calves will do fine on good quality hay alone. Before that point they don't have rumen capacity to eat enough hay to get their daily nutritional requirements. Feed 1% of her body weight in good quality grain every day for a week, then move it up to 1.5, then 2 - most calves will turn around in a month or two with good feed. Esp at her age she hasn't been stunted that long. [/QUOTE]
