CATTLEMEN: We put a lot of effort into making the bunk ration perfect. That’s great, and it should be done. But, what about the calves that don’t come to the bunk? We tend to forget a basic rule of animal behavior and animal husbandry — that shy calves who are afraid to stick their heads in the bunk and calves who aren’t feeling well won’t get the ration they need. Placing a palatable tub that is highly fortified with trace minerals and vitamins in the middle or back of the pen will help those calves that need it most.
