I've googled and can't find anything about any study on this. Do calves gain better fed in the mornin or evenin? or does it make a difference?
I know if you feed cows in the evenin when it's close to time for them to calve, they will be more likely to calve in the daylight hours. But I was just wonderin about feedin times with calves.
Well I say calves.....what got me wonderin is, Lil Lilly's Commercial heifer pen usually gets fed in the evenins. For the simple fact that they aren't here at the house, they are on the other side of town where all the rest of our cows are, and it's just not handy to go feed in the mornin's. She gets up and feeds her horses here, and then we feed her heifers in the evenin. We got to talkin last night and I wondered if they were fed in the mornin, would it make a difference in their gain.
Anyone know???
