Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 April 1919 — PROVIDE CALF WITH SALT [ARTICLE]

PROVIDE CALF WITH SALT

Supply of Clean, Fresh Water, Always Available Is Another Simple Requisite. By the time the dairy calf is old enough to eat roughage it should have either access to or small daily offerings of salt. Plenty of clean, fresh water, constantly available, is another simple and Inexpensive requisite of good calf care that is too often neglected. Because a calf receives milk to drink is no reason why it does not require water. After the calf is two weeks old it needs water in small amounts at a time, though often.
