Harwood Grains Sheep Feed Range

Calf Starter

Calf Starter is an all-in-one pelleted feed optimised to start calves off strong. Calf Starter is a high protein feed suitable for young growing calves from 4 weeks of age. It is suitable for use as a creep feed or for early weaning.


Calf Starter contains a balanced profile of grains, roughage, protein, vitamins and minerals to supply essential nutrients to growing calves. This complete feed helps to support the early development of young calves, aiding in immune health, growth and rumen development.


Calf Starter is a highly palatable ration that aids in transitioning calves from milk to pellets and enhances the conversion of feed to weight gain. It also contains natural plant antioxidants to support immune health and aid in combating gut pathogens (such as Salmonella and E. coli) and coccidiosis to improve health and performance.


Contains a rumen buffer to help prevent rumen acidosis (grain poisoning).
