[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1828234, member: 43196"] Either of these methods stand to stop the eating of the panels, but the eating of the panels is a symptom of something (lack of gut fill I think is the cause). Stopping the 'consumption' of the panels isn't a cure for the less than full rumen or boredom or other causative issue. But, treating the symptom only in this case might be all that is needed, rather than the cause, as a less than full rumen or boredom aren't necessarily highly detrimental as long as the feed the calf is getting has the needed/required nutrients. Conversely, a full rumen with forage that is inadequate in nutrient content can, and I have seen it, actually starve an animal......yes, with a full stomach/rumen. [/QUOTE]
