[QUOTE="chippie, post: 574512, member: 5644"] To put it bluntly, since the cow is half dairy breed, she starved herself to feed her calf. Everything that a good diary animal eats goes into milk for her calf. We have Jerseys and the ones that are milking are fed 12+ pounds of grain twice daily. Your poor cow did a good job raising your steer. You should thank her. She looks pitiful. Dairy cattle are more angular and have less muscling than a beef breed, however your cow is starved. Look how hollow she is in her flank. If you are planning on buying calves and raising steers, you will need to improve your pasture and plan on feeding them too. I hope that you can see the transformation of your cow from when she had the calf until now. [/QUOTE]
