Whole Milk and Grain Feed for Growing Calf
Feeding a calf whole milk until at least two months old yields better growth. At two weeks, provide about 10 pounds of milk daily from the same source with uniform temperature. Three feeds daily improve gain, but many dairymen skip due to labor. By two to three weeks, offer alfalfa or clover hay with a grain mix of hominy, ground oats, bran and oilmeal.
Variety of Concentrates for Large Dairy Production
For large production, use a greater variety of concentrates to raise palatability and reduce feed refusals. Flour middlings add feeding glue and improve rations with oats and bran. Tailor rations to cows by roughage intake and feed one pound grain mix per three pounds of milk produced.
