[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 295633, member: 78"] IMO if the cow is getting in better condition while she has a calf she is not ultilizing feed for milk. Depending on your forage is how I would choose what to feed. If you are set on hay a higher protein cake, liquid feed would be an option. IMO they stimulate appetite and cause cows to go to forage. If forage is poor and low a 20% cube would be my choice. Supplementing or creep feeding the calves is a tough one. Is it economical. Price of corn now days for me it is not. You might try for the long run better genetics. In the mean time keep an eye on the calves and cows. i wuld also say do not let the cows nurse to long. It in time will decrease production. [/QUOTE]
