We have a neighbor with a family cow that comes to us for advise about cow since we have a small dairy farm. They don't/won't feed grain only good quality hay while milking and rotated pastures. They let the calf nurse the cow and take the rest of the milk for thier family.The cow freshened in early May and now she has lost a lot of weight/condition. I would like to recommend something to give the cow but I am at a loss. I feed corn, which they are apposed to. Does anyone know what they can use, will something like oats give the cow enough energy? What else? Thanks.
