Up to 34 lbs. more weight gained through weaning
Up to 52 lbs. more weight gained through 23 weeks
Consumed 144 lbs. more dry feed, post-weaning (8-23 weeks)
Reached 400 lbs. 25 days sooner
Now - 2.5 month reduction in age at first calving

Feed Cow's Match^® Calf Growth Formula twice a day. Large breeds should get 1.8 lbs. of
Cow's Match^® Calf Growth Formula powder per day the first week; then increase the rate to 2.5 lbs. per day until one week before weaning. During the last week on Cow's Match^® Calf Growth Formula decrease the amount per day to 1.25 lbs., delivered in one daily feeding.
Use a consistent recipe throughout feeding.
Observe regular vaccination practices, especially early.
Be consistent with feeding rates.
Observe good dry cow management practices.
For a batch-mixing schedule, consult with your feed specialist. Cow's Match^® Calf Growth Formula should be precisely weighed for best results.
Free choice clean water. Cow's Match^® Calf Growth Formula calves drink lots of water. So keep an eye on that bucket. Make sure it's always filled with clean fresh water.
Free choice high protein calf starter.
Clean straw and bedding.

Feeding once a day before weaning encourages calves to eat more high-protein dry starter feed. This gradual transition to starter feed helps reduce the stress of weaning. As a general rule, healthy calves can be weaned when they start eating 1.5 to 2 lbs. of high-protein calf starter per day for three consecutive days.
