Nutritional timing before calving boosts calf health and rebreed rate
Nutrition in the final 60 days before calving directly affects calf vitality, wean weights, and cow fertility. Bill Steeds notes 70-80 percent of fetal growth occurs then, with poor feeding raising death losses and weakening calves. Recommendations include elevating grain to 7-9 lb daily, appropriate mineral ratios, vitamin A supplementation, and constant access to fresh water. straw-based rations require hay and mineral adjustments. The piece also promotes Brandon Weed Fair activities on January 20–21 featuring weed control talks, nozzle updates, and dozens of displays.
