I know this question will sound crazy, but my girls show market calves at fair. Fair starts May 21st and the market calf class is 50/50 calves 400 lbs or under. These are 50 percent dairy and 50 percent beef calves that are started from a bottle at a day old. The montbiliarde/ red swiss calves don't have the same adg, as the Holstein that they have won supreme reserve grand champion with, the past 2 years. My experience with ralgro implants, is to use them at weaning. Can you implant bottle calves at a younger age to increase feed efficiency? These are bull calves that are usually sold to feed lots. Thanks for the help.
