[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1752520, member: 42463"] Again... think about that, "a cow has to eat grain to (digestive system to develop correctly)." Grain is very sparse in a natural pasture. Seed heads of grasses that are naturally occurring and nothing more. Cattle didn't evolve in fields of present day wheat, barley, or oats... or corn. Grain can actually inhibit good digestive health in very young cattle. The best thing you can do to assure good digestive health in a calf is make sure it gets plenty of colostrum for several days after birth, and then gets saliva transfer from an adult cow by being licked. Saliva transfer from older animals helps to grow the microbiome in the gut which is very important to ruminants. [/QUOTE]
