west central Iowa | Our cows and calves get silage on corn stalks prior to weaning. We feed calves silage and ground ear corn at weaning. Our smaller calves would be around 400#, when weaned in Dec. We sometimes sort these smaller calves off and give more GEC to help keep them warm. Calves get 3/4-1# of 40-20 plain protein and seem to get along fine. I don't have any experience with DDG. It seems like the longer the calves eat silage with the cows the easier weaning is on them. | |

Weaning calves on silage and DDG?
