I'll have to try that. I don't have dairy quality hay and mostly feed alfalfa or alfalfa/orchard grass hay. A few years ago, when the prices shot up, I stopped feeding cake and lick tubs. Usually, when it storms I double the amount fed, partly for bedding. I guess I'm pampering them to much.

I normally feed them alfalfa and grass hay. The problem comes after a snow storm, when the calves are hunkered down and don't nurse like they would normally. When the storm passes, they over eat and die. I also give the cows scour boss shots prior to calving.

My vet says to give the C & D shot to new born calves when they are 3 days old. I am wondering if a person can give it sooner after birth, so that I can catch them? I have a problem with them overeating and this Alpha C&D shot has stopped the deaths.
