IT Pays to START Them Right
Then RAKE Them Right
Raising Veal Calves:
Feed NURSING CI-10W gruel first
four weeks. Keep a mixture of 1
part PURINA BEEF CHOW and 2
parts coarsely ground grain or PUR-
INA OMALENE in front of calves
all the time. At four weeks cut off
the gruel and mix 1 lb. dr,y NAJRS-
ING CHOW per calf per day with
STEER FATINA and grain. Feed
this way for another 25 days or so.
The calf starting plan outlined really GROWS calves. It HELPS
SAVE calves, too. In the big Purina Research Farm herd every
heifer calf dropped in over two years has been successfully
raised. Disinfecting calving stalls, disinfecting the dam's udder
and flanks, disinfecting utensils, holding down Meg, all helped
too.
