[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1293140, member: 14261"] Calf's belly looks rounded from being full in this picture. A calf not getting enough will be sunken in and sucked up and you will be able to see some ribs and ridge on the backbone a little bit. The cow looks to be Brahman influence of some sort? If so, then they are known for higher butterfat content (Brahman) and the bag may not be that huge in order to effectively feed a calf. If she is eating, peeing, pooping, and active, she's probably fine. I always keep creep feed available just in case a cow keels over dead unexpectedly. Its a good insurance policy against such happenings, and helps the calf along in case it is not getting enough from mom. [/QUOTE]
