[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1755707, member: 39373"] [USER=42463]@Travlr[/USER] I'd have to go back and look. But I think the smaller ones got about 3 pounds a day. Increasing to about 5 or 6 until spring. Total weight split it into 2 feedings. One in the morning. One in the evening. And of coarse best free choice hay I have. Usually just good Bermuda. I toyed with some alfalfa a bit. I actually think if one could feed good alfalfa hay, the feed required would be very little. Neighbor friend did his 2 heifer on milk for far longer than I did. Milk and free choice Bermuda. I couldn't see much difference in size aside from his calves may have been a touch more pot bellied. And he spend a LOT more on milk replacer. So I think the grain helps with the pot belliedness and saves money [/QUOTE]
