How do you start weaning a calf to eat feed?
Introduce the feed in an area where the calf will notice it and be curious about it. Patience also helps too. Introduction of feed should've been done when the calf was around a week old so that it helps develop the calf's digestive system, and adds extra nutrient value that cannot be obtained from milk. Most calves, when with their mothers, actually start sampling and eating feed their mothers do when they're no more than a few days to a week old.
