Feeding Calves On Roughage And Pasture
Calves thrive best when fed milk or meal with good pasture or hay. When green pasture is scarce use leafy lucerne or clover hay in a rack, or maize sorghum fodder or silage for older calves. Lucerne should be leafy and fresh. clover or pasture hay may substitute, avoid wheaten or rank hay. Silage suits calves after two to three months. high quality hay reduces meal needs. Calves begin nibbling at ten to fourteen days. turn to pasture only after digestive systems mature to prevent scour and thrift issues.
