Hi guys I'm new to the feed mixing and I would like some input..I have corn , wheat, dry distillers, and 12% mixed grass hay..any ideas on ration? It is for calves weighing around 200 lbs still on the cow. Thanks.

Does anyone know where I would get information on what an average carcass will yield? How much will be burger, steak , roast , etc.. Thank you :clap:

Over time I have learned to pair them with a calf ( even if it's older) they seem to Mimic others and will learn to eat grain more quickly ... If possible I always pair a newbie ( if not sick) with a more experienced calf ..

We have around 250 cAlves every year so if I can gain a little weight here and there it will make a big difference .. We have recently purchased a set of scales and I think it will help me figure it out.. I am curious to see if feeding my month old calves will be worth the expense .. Any thoughts?

We have around 250 calves a year so if I can gain a little weight here and there it will really add up..

Thanks for the reply .. I am in aw missouri.. I feel like our 205 day weaning weight is a little lower than it should be (400#) .. These cattle get only the feed Mother Nature provides.. I am trying to figure out what direction I need to go.. Thanks again

Thanks guys..

Anyone with experience using protons tubs?

Anyone out there who feeds only pasture and hay have any weaning weight info? If so what are your weights ? Thank u .. Also does creep feeding pay?
