[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 906367, member: 6897"] The high fiber ration you use will work better at both production and holding BF levels than the more typical grain ration fed to dairy cattle. Your milk protein level might drop a bit but you're not getting paid for it anyway. ;-) If you're simply producing milk for the calf and your own use just feed for the needed production. That's always easiest on the cow. Jersey down in this area seldom get over about 850-900 lbs. so most are not fed as heavily as holstein or other larger breeds. In a dairy situation I'd probably feed them about 24=26lbs. of grain ration per day and and equal amount of grazing/hay/ other roughage. [/QUOTE]
