[QUOTE="novaman, post: 754007, member: 2744"] Not arguing with what HD said as she has plenty of experience in this department I'm sure. I, however, do not feed hay to calves until several weeks after the calf is weaned. The rumen has little capacity so I think it imperative to get them on starter as much as they can eat. They need that high energy feed to overcome this period of stress and change. I've heard lots of people feed hay. It seems like a good practice but they just aren't physically ready for it. [/QUOTE]
