[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1719830, member: 498"] We gave them free choice grass hay for the first 4 days in a corral. Then turned out hay field regrowth with salt and minerals. Around day 30 the grass was getting thin. 150 calves got one big square bale of grass hay (1,100+/-) a day and they started with Anipro tubs (liquid protein). 35 purchased calves (some were previously weaned and some weren't) get all the grass hay they will clean up, 2 pounds cracked corn, and a 20% protein tub. These calves averaged 365 pounds a purchase. Normally I limit feed alfalfa as their protein source but hay is real expensive and scarce here this year. In a normal year they would get about 3 pounds of alfalfa every other day. [/QUOTE]
