I certainly do not mind. We have a herd of 180 mama cows that calve Jan-Apr. They get baby vaccinations at birth and again at weaning. Standard modified live or killed vaccinations, no mRNA vaccines. No unnecessary antibiotics other than health needs. Calves range with mamas until summer weaning. They have free choice to crumbles, grass, hay and minerals while with mama. They are bunk broke on a feed ration of hay, oats and corn to tame them and get them used to a feed schedule. They are supplemented with free choice minerals, baking soda and grasses available. They go into our building before harvest for easy management and daily health checks during the busy harvest season. Then they get a winter feed ration of whole plant corn silage, rye silage, hay silage and mineral until they reach 1200 lbs. At this point we increase protein with corn and bulk protein pellets. All feed is raised here except minerals and protein pellets. Did I miss anything?
