One Common Mistake in Feeding Dairy Calves
A guide warns against overfeeding dairy calves and urges strict portioning. It advocates one pound of milk per ten pounds of live weight, so a fifty pound calf gets five pounds daily, or two quarts, with no more than sixteen pounds daily and two feeds.
Cow Foot Care Guide Advises Gentle Hoof Trimming
A practical note explains that cow toe nails grow long and hinder movement. Use a sharp chisel to remove excess growth and a rasp to shape the hoof. The animal permits careful work if handled quietly, and results include better handling and posture.
Balanced Cow Ration Definition and Protein Challenge
A balanced cow ration blends feeds to supply the needed protein relative to carbohydrates. Home grown feeds lack sufficient protein. To produce 30 pounds of milk, a cow would need corn and oats in excess, risking digestive imbalance.
Location of Silo on Farm and Cutter Proximity
The silo stands as the farm’s most conspicuous building, especially tall silos that tower like a city on a hill. It must be filled at least once a year, and when locating it one should plan to haul many loads of corn to the cutter. Place the cutter within at least eight feet of the silo for best results.
