Why is my calf eating dirt?

Your calf might be eating dirt due to a mineral deficiency, particularly a lack of essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, or trace minerals. This behavior, known as pica, can also occur out of boredom, stress, or curiOSity. It's important to ensure your calf has access to a balanced diet and minerals to prevent potential health issues. If the behavior persists, consulting a veterinarian can help address any underlying nutritional or health concerns.
