[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1757181, member: 25884"] Hay and not enough protein will make calves pot bellied. You are going to have to up the protein and it will take awhile. In 2 weeks time was the grass that depleted? How much area did they have to graze and if it was getting short then, maybe they needed more hay? I am not sure what would cause it to be so pronounced after only 2 weeks though. That seems a little weird. Any chance they were eating some rough brush or something? I would be a little concerned about it coming on so fast. Someone here with more experience than me might have better ideas. [/QUOTE]
