Proper care and feeding boost dairy bulls and calf quality
The article argues that dairy bulls are often neglected due to owner disbelief in the sire’s value and a nervous temperament risk. It recommends balanced grain mixes avoiding high cottonseed meal, legume hay for protein, limited silage, ample fresh water, and safe, exercise-friendly housing to maintain vigor and reduce injury.

Substituting Skim Milk for Whole to the Calf
A calf should receive whole milk for three weeks then gradually switch to skim milk starting around day 21. Change proceeds at about a pint daily, completing the swap in about two weeks as the calf reaches five to six weeks old. Begin teaching to eat early with nibbling at bay by two weeks and grain soon after. Whole oats favored to start, with cracked corn also good, especially with clover hay. Alfalfa works variably for young calves.
