Follow these instructions to make the most of your feed:

• Feed Reid Stockfeeds baby calf starter unrestrictedly pre-weaning, and post-weaning if desired.
• As well as specially formulated muesli, calves should always have access to fresh, clean water and high-quality fibre such as barley straw.
• Fresh feed should be distributed to calves daily to minimise the chance of it becoming stale or contaminated.
• Calves should continually increase their intake of all feeds and water.
• Diet changes should be made gradually.
• Changes to milk volume should be limited to 1/2 litre per feeding.
• Target growth rates vary by breed, however 600-800 grams of weight gain per day is the expected average.

Calf Starter Timeline:
Our baby calf feed is suitable for the first 12 weeks of a dairy cow’s life.

• Day 1 – Ensure the calf receives adequate colostrum. Aim to feed 10% of its weight in colostrum within the first 24 hours of life, in two separate feeds. Introduce small amounts high-quality roughage (e.g. barley straw) and allow unlimited access Reid Stockfeed Baby Calf from Day 1.
• Day 2 – 5 – In the first days of life, milk intake should reach 12% of live weight (assuming that whole milk is being fed). This may be split into two feeds a day, morning, and afternoon.Week 2-3 – Continue to feed 12% of live weight as milk, split into two feeds a day. Combine Reid Stockfeeds’ Calf Rearer with Reid Stockfeeds Baby Calf, progressively increasing the Calf Rearer to 100% by the end of the third week of the calf’s life.
• Week 4-9 – Ensure concentrate intake is steadily increasing. Forage intake should also be increasing.
• Week 10+ – Gradually reduce milk intake over a two-week period. During this time, grain and water intake should be continually increasing.
• Week 12 – Continue to feed forage and Reid Stockfeeds Calf Rearer or Calf Weaner until the calf reaches 200kg.
