[QUOTE="chippie, post: 915086, member: 5644"] Where are you located? What size is your pasture and how many head do you have on it? How much is a little grain? The amount fed should be measured in pounds, not volume. Right now, we have 4 calves about 3 months to 5 months old that are fed 4 to 5 lbs daily in a creep feeder. They are not weaned yet. They go in and out and eat when they feel like it. They also have access to a round bale and our grass is growing like crazy (thank you Lord for the rain and mild weather). When we finish one for the freezer. It is fed separately and the amount fed depends on the size of the animal. Bring it in to eat twice daily, otherwise it grazes in the pasture and has access to hay if needed. RE: Your heifer. How did you confirm that she is not a free martin? You will want to keep her separated from the Jersey that still has the testicle. A guy that we know bought a bottle baby Holstein heifer from a trader. Kept it for over 14 months and finally noticed that it never came in heat. He took it to the vet and found out that it did not have any ovaries. [/QUOTE]
