[QUOTE="Gliderider, post: 184999, member: 3296"] Hi again, I am awaiting the arival of two bred highland cows(my first) and have a few feeding questions before they get here. My background is in horses and the two dairy calves I have now. First- I feed my calves horse/cattle feed, the tag is as follows. Protein - 10% Fat - 3% Fiber - 15% Calcium - 1.2% Salt - 1% Phorsphorus - .4% Potassium - .6% Copper Selnium Zinc Vit. A Is this sufficent for a pregnant cow? Should I add something with more fat? When you want to add fat to a horses diet without adding protien you add corn/veggie oil or Black Oil Sunflower seeds(Not for horses with HYPP, too high in Potassium) What else does a pregnant cow require? Do I need to worm them now before they calve? If so with what? I have some more questions but I'll post them under the right topics. Thanks for any help you can give me. [/QUOTE]
