So I aquired 2 angus "calves" from a family who basically starved them all winter, and I trying to salvage them. Red Angus bull born in Set. 09, weighs about 300 right now, mostly blind angus heifer born in Aug. 09, weighs a little over 400.(I'm debating on keeping her to breed? Maybe)
I've had them for a month now, and have shown good improvement, but little bull isn't responding as well. Skin and coats have improved greatly, and they are starting to fill out a bit. Here's what I been doing:
3-4 pounds of balanced 12% feed each day
Free Choice on a quality clover/alfalfa/orchard grass mix hay, eating roughly 12-15 pounds a day, as best I can estimate.
I've been giving them "treats" of fresh cut grass clippings in the afternoons, they wolf that pretty well.
Free choice mineral lick, fresh water etc.
They are confined in the "quarantine" corral, pending more improvement with them.
Any other suggestions to "bounce" them a little faster?
