Newborn Calf The average Holstein calf weighs from 90 to 100 pounds at birth. A newborn calf is fed colostrum milk for the first three days of life. Colostrum is special because it gives the calf extra nutrients to help the calf get off to a good, healthy start. Calves are usually fed milk or milk replacer starting at 3 days of age. They are also fed calf starter, a grain, beginning at 7 to 10 days of age. They are 4 to 8 weeks old when they are weaned from milk. Six Month Old Heifer The six month old heifer is usually fed silage, hay, and grain. These heifers may also graze (eat grass) in a pasture. Holstein heifers weigh about 400 pounds at this age. Dairy farmers want their Holstein heifers to gain 1.6 to 1.8 pounds each day. Yearling This heifer is called a yearling because she is over one year old. She weighs about 700 pounds and still has quite a bit of growing to do before she enters the milking herd in another year. Two Year Old Dairy farmers refer to animals like this ...

  22nd August 2018 Unicorns are legendary creatures and have special magical powers to grant wishes of those who are pure of heart. These white beauties with their spiral single horn are elusive and can be very difficult to spot in the real world today. Being known for hiding in forests around the world they can only be spotted by a pure of heart soul because they know that these people would never reveal their location to the outside world or those not worthy of seeing them. Unicorns eat grass and hay, and their favourite time of day to eat this grass is early morning when its covered in fresh dew drops. They eat because they want to though, not because they need to as they sustain their energy from the magic and positivity around them. Unicorns do not need to drink to survive, just like eating, but they like water as it is as natural and pure as they are. Unicorns love to grant wishes to those who are deserving. Their magical powers will allow the wisher one special wish. All the...

The horse has a life cycle that can be broken down into four very  distinct phases. After conception and birth, the horse evolves into  adolescence, adulthood and finally old age. Mares, or female horses, typically experience seasonal estrous cycles, going into heat in late spring or early summer. If breeding is successful, the mare carries her baby for about 11 months, or an average of 335 days. The foal develops a heartbeat around day 23. After   about 150 days of pregnancy, the placenta is fully formed around the baby. A mare spends about an hour in labor, on average, then lies down to deliver the foal. The foal begins to stand and walk within minutes of birth. Horses are born after a gestation period of 11 months, and for the next year are called foals. In the first year, horses grow rapidly and will reach 90 percent of their adult height and 80 percent of their adult weight. Male foals are called colts, and females are called fillies. The yearling has almost grown in...
