[QUOTE="devonbrion1998, post: 6665941, member: 53102"] We have reared 100s of bought in Calves dairy x and they always check once weaned its the change over of feed, I think they have to go through that until the rumen has developed, best done by getting the straw into them early, they don't convert hay or haylage very well at pre/post-weaning,I have tried it all over the years, pellets, blends, course mixes, sugar beet etc, but they need time to get going and once they kick in they fly, I always gave ad-lib cake of what they would eat the most of. As long as they are alive and thriving I wouldn't worry too much, also I have pumped milk powder into them and they do put a lot of weight on, but went back even more at weaning. [/QUOTE]
