In order to successfully engage in the ranching and cattle need to know about the care and maintenance of these animals. The most important step is the feeding of calves since the adults do not particularly need special conditions. But the young of either sex needs a special and careful supervision for their normal growth and development.

This is usually equip special cells in which trail straw. It can be installed in the barn, but if it is not blown.
Secondly, it is necessary to correctly carry out the feeding of calves. After the calf is born, the cow ceases to give milk and starts giving colostrum. This is a special substance, which is much more nutritious than regular milk and is composed of a variety of vitamins, antibodies and other nutrients and minerals that are needed for normal growth and development of the newborn offspring. Besides newborn the body very much prone to various kinds of disease, and feeding colostrum get rid of such problems, as it will facilitate the strengthening and development of immunity.
The Feeding of calves should take place in a special mode. Colostrum is the main food for a newborn offspring. The process of feeding need to exercise 4 to 6 times a day. Immediately after birth it is necessary to start with a single dose of feeding in 1 liter at a time. Over time, develop a norm of colostrum should reach 3 liters. It is important to note that colostrum is a special milk, which has one annoying feature. The fact is that it too quickly loses favor over time, and a few days later the cow and does no longer his to give and will start producing normal milk. And because in the first days of life we must try as often as possible to drink the calf with colostrum.
Feeding calves in the first days of their life should be accompanied by the fact that on the second day of age the animal should drink a day to 1.5 liters of warm water. This is necessary to stabilize the process of digestion and improve it.
One thing Worth mentioning is that feeding the newborn calf is only part of care. To grow healthy and strong offspring will not work without the proper place of stay of the animal. There are some rules that are best followed if you need to raise healthy calves.

In order to successfully carry out the feeding of calves on the scheme, you need to attend to the content of the calf separately from his mother.

You Must make sure that the calf drank a little more and for the reason that too a big one-time dose of colostrum will simply roll right in the stomach, and this will cause a problem with digestion. It is very important to have the first feeding time. No matter what time of the day, there were calving in the next 30 minutes, the calf should receive their first dose of colostrum.
The Diet of calves up to three weeks - it is only colostrum, milk and water. But at the end of this period and then it will gradually expand and become more diverse. Here are some examples that you can give food a little grown calf;

In addition to the dairy breeds of cattle is still and cold. The breeding of cattle as a business for the sale of meat is very, very profitable business. However, in order to raise good offspring, you need to create all the necessary conditions. But that's not all. To obtain large amounts of meat, you must select one of the meat breeds of cattle. As usual cows or bulls have a fairly small amount of muscle from the point of view of its sale in the market.
One of the good beef breeds of cattle is the Hereford. The big advantage of this kind of registered animals is that they are resistant to any diseases, and their immune system is very strong. In addition, the offspring of these cows gain weight much faster than any other, and the animals themselves are pretty hardy. Calves meat breed Hereford born weighing 34 to 36 kg that is already done. With further proper care and feeding of the babies are gaining 1 kg per day. It is worth noting that because of this rapid and powerful process of growth and development of calves is not enough to only mother's milk, but because they need extra feed is already from the first days of life.
When the further breeding of bulls for slaughter they should be kept to about 15-20 months of age. When to slaughter will remain about three months, you must begin increased feeding individuals. If done correctly, by the time of slaughtering the animal will weigh more than 400 pounds of animal Food of a male until about six months consists of milk and various feeds. In that case, if the steer was born in the spring, you can not feed roughage, and fresh green grass. Such a diet will stimulate rapid growth and development of the animal. At the age of about a year the ration of bull thatintended for slaughter, half should consist of silage. In spring and summer, animals that 12 to 18 months, you can not give concentrates. Keep them in this case, only one pasture.
