I followed the steps advocated by the UK ag professor on accelerating the growth and development of calves. I started halter breaking at a month old. I followed last falls setup of exposing them to grain and high quality hay in an area isolated from the cows. I like the results. My calves are consuming more hay and grain. Growth looks excellent.
The tenets of his plan are as follows:
1. Allow calves to access an area isolated from the cows.
2. Put out high quality grain and hay. At first they just lick at the grain but it puts them on track.
3. Provide fresh water that they can access
These steps will accelerate the evolution of their rumen.
