A calf that is healthy and doing well loves eating and too grow
A good bench mark is a growth of about 800g a day or about what a 10 pack of eggs weighs, that means a lot of milk from his mom about 6 liters a day.

He has already started eating the adult food too get his rumen is the first of the calf’s 4 stomach and in time the biggest, it’s full of microorganisms that break down grass and herbs for the animal releasing nutrient and producing heat.

The calf will continue too drink milk for about 8 months before making the switch too only adult food, during that time the % of energy he gets from the milk will decrease making the transition slowly.

If the calf were too loose his mom or if she don’t have milk or not enough that severely impacts his growth so you as a farmer may have too offer a supplement too make sure the calf is getting everything it needs.
