Half our heifer calves are now weaned and eating meadow aftergrass. Now we are teaching them to eat 20% protein cake off of the ground. I like to feed them the first few times by walking through them on foot, and feeding them from paper sacks. By leaving the sacks temporarily on the ground near the cake, the heifers are curious to check out the sack. When they smell it, they find the feed and then they are your buddy.
