Mr. A C T Howitt advises bucket feeding calves to five to six months or four and a half months if good pads of feed are available, with weaning timing and hay supplementation. For heifers, emphasize growth with meadow or lucerne hay, pasture, and specific daily hay and pasture intake to reach calving readiness, plus annual hay needs.
