[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 825789, member: 6897"] Keep the calf on the starter post weaning but DO allow the calf the opportunity to decide on it's on when it wants to begin eating forage. Don't worry about the volatile fatty acids. They will be there, and go very high once the calf is weaned off milk and kept on the calf starter but the added forage will be what truly develops the rumen. Never been able to find a 22% calf starter around here but the 18% would do you a good job. Worm your calf, give it an injection of Vit A-D as well as E with Selenium and let him enjoy his ryegrass. If the manure gets a little thin it's normal. By the way, what kind of milk replacer were you using? Hopefully it too was high quality. [/QUOTE]
