Question Of Calves and Crullers

Ok, quickie question here; knowing critters of the bovine persuasion have four stomaches, will doughnuts hurt? Yesterday's dump of produce/bread had a plethora of chocolate donut bars, almond crossaints, cheese danish, etc. Now the pig did her part in munching down many of them, but the calves LOVED them as well. I've been giving them a lot of sourdough, baguettes, bagels, and whole wheat sliced bread, but not the sweet stuff. Will it make them sick? If not, I'll ask for all they've got next week. This stuff was just so much extra that the neighbor (who's helping with the glut of stuff from them-she takes two days, I take two days) brought it over for my pig. Today, the pig and calves ate entirely of bread and a little alfalfa. They are enjoying the carb loading but I don't want to get em sick.

Basically, it's all grain. Don't overdo it and they'll be fine.

My cow gets 4 loaves of bread a day.
