Exploring the pasture
Is it normal or harmful for a calf that young to be eating hay? I went out this morning to feed him his bottle and he wanted more, as usual. After I finished him, then I went and tended to my chickens. After tending to the chickens, I went back to the calf pen and put some more hay in there to help him keep warm and hopefully to help with the mud and muck in there. Lots of rain and melted snow here.
Well, as soon as started spreading the hay out, then he started eating it. Is it alright for me to get some calf started feed and give him some of that? If so, then would I still give him a bottle in the morning and one at night?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dorothy
