Corn Cob Meal Best for Calves On Early Pasture
Rex Beresford of Iowa State College says corn and cob meal is a better grain for calves turned out on spring pasture than shelled corn. If shelled corn is used, feed whole oats to 10 to 12 percent of the grain mix and prevent bloat by letting cattle eat all they will and offering hay. Protein needs drop on early pasture, so feed at least half as much supplement as before turnout, then adjust as grass matures.
