[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8348"] Terry, I think the relative question here is this a bottle calf or is it nursing the cow? Either way 3 months is a bit early to be weaning it when you look at the long term. As for he grain... is it eating calf starter or grain? At 3 months it should be eating starter or creep feed.Starter and creep are designed to develop the rumen properly as well as make sure that the calf is supported nutritionally. Grain alone doesn't do this and can actually be detrimental to the development of the rumen. Keep in mind that cows are herbivores meaning that vergetation is what they were designed to eat.<br>Janet<p> <br> <br><hr size=7 width=75%><p> [email=bourtonsbovineemporium@attcanada.net]bourtonsbovineemporium@attcanada.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
