Influence of drylot housing or pasture on calf behavior at receiving on day 118. Drylot cow/calf pairs were housed on concrete lots with open front sheds, cows were limit-fed TMR formulated for maintenance and calves had ad libitum access to TMR; pasture cows rotationally grazed pasture, and calves offered creep feed 3 wk prior to weaning. Significance of hour slice P-values are represented as: P ≤ 0.05 defined by *, and tendencies from 0.05 < P ≤ 0.10 are defined as +. Vertical bars represent the SEM. There were treatment × time and treatment effects detected (P ≤ 0.02), for lying, walking and drinking. There were no treatment or treatment × time effects detected for eating (P ≥ 0.69) or vocalizations (P ≥ 0.17). There was a time effect detected for each behavior (P ≤ 0.01) besides vocalizations (P ≥ 0.12).
