A calf should be removed from its dam on day four and learn to drink from a pail. Start with warm whole milk then gradually switch to skim milk over four weeks, capping at fifteen pounds daily in month one and up to twenty-five pounds later. Milk should be heated to 100 degrees and kept clean. Begin adding small amounts of meal at two weeks, increasing to one pound daily by three weeks, then introducing ground grains at two months. Guernsey cows provide rich milk and good beef. use Guernsey bulls to improve herds. After five months, reduce grains and rely on hay roughage. Calves should have free access to hay and be turned to pasture with grains aiding muscle development rather than fattening.
