Milk replacer as hair grower

[RSL Cattle Co.]

I once heard that if you add milk replacer to a steers/ heifers diet it will grow more hair. Is this true?

We fed Calf Manna -- 2 oz 2x per day top dress for years, realy puts the bloom on and with a good ration to go with it, we grew hair in Mo in July!! Sure worked for us when we were out there! Good stuff, milk replacer is in there too by the way!

Thanks Cowboy, much appreciated. I believe I will try this out.

I think they've changed calf manna, at least around here.  Everything I can find takes half a pound or more to get any results.  We have used milk replacer to good results though

Best recipe, plenty of brushing, cooler, and plenty of darkness.  Will start looking like a wooly mamoth.

Milk replacer will work but it's getting pretty pricey.
