A calf should have whole milk for three weeks then gradually switch to skim milk at about a pint per day, completing the change in about two weeks. Calves five to six weeks old should be taught to eat early, nibbling bay at two weeks and eating grain soon after.

Some use alfalfa with excellent results, though not universally effective.
