Just so I don't hijack another thread. What are people feeding cows through the winter that are incalf and feeding april/may born calves till there weaned in February. I normally work with 25kg 12% protein single cut silage, 2kg straw chopped and mixed through it and 2kg barley. Plus a square feeder with adlib straw in it.
Now the cows are on slats and a 14% protein silage I am thinking along the lines of 100% silage. Calves will be creep fed as normal.
Backend calvers will be similar diet maybe just an extra 1 or 2kg of barley out a bag at night over there silage.
Thoughts appreciated.
