[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 6666108, member: 971"] Calves have their highest DLWG potential on milk so you will never get the same growth rate as the commendable rates you are getting pre-weaning. I would be wary of too much nice tasty haylage or whole crop at so young an age. If they like it they eat it and they don't eat enough concentrate. Clean straw and concentrate is all they need. We used to change to silage at 20 weeks but now go straw and 3kg of 18% conc all the way to turnout (autumn born calves) [/QUOTE]
