[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1077686, member: 9267"] Grass for young calves needs to be top quality, and plenty of it so that they can pick and choose the best out of it. They can't be made to clean up until around 10 - 11 months old at a minimum, or their growth will be set back. My calves right now are getting about 2lb 20% cubes each and grazing ahead of the cows, they're about four - five months old, dairy heifers. Within a month I'll start restricting their area and stop the grain feed but will still use the cows to clean up behind them. As Denver says, if the calves look healthy now and you keep them on feed they should do fine. [/QUOTE]
