Effects of winter nutrition levels on cow and calf performance
Cow and calf performance under four winter-nutrition levels
was compared using 34 cows the first year and 87 cows the second
year. Cows were maintained on the same nutrition treatment both
years with additional cows added the second year, Cows ranged
from less than 2 to 11 years of age. Average calving date was
early April. A total of 95 calves were included during the two
years. Calves were weighed within 24 hours after birth and at
monthly intervals from June to November. Cows were weighed each
