[QUOTE="GMN, post: 310518, member: 2382"] I have talked to several very experienced dairy farmers about this topic, and they have never heard of feeding a 3 day old calf grain or hay, they are just babies, these are holstein dairy calves, even if they were with their moms, they would not be eating grain, they would be driinking moms milk, just more of it, and whenever they wanted. Baby holstein calves 3 days old, are still being fed colustrum, which we feed colustrum at least for a week, then either cows milk or milk replacer. We do not even introduce grain until at least 2 weeks of age, and hay not until they are much older. GMN [/QUOTE]
