[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1085206, member: 5644"] I agree about the snacks, but hopefully the cow will be turned out and grazing, hopefully with access to a good hay 24/7. I don't mean to keep the cow penned too. Feeding the calves like I mentioned has always worked well for us. I personally have had a family milk cow for almost 40 years. I like having the cow coming up because I see her twice a day and it can help keep one gentle. Having the calves penned can make it easier to get them started on hay and a little feed when the time is right and if a person wants to get them on feed. Being that the original poster lives in a colder climate, what will work for him may be different than what will work for me. [/QUOTE]
