The group is eating eight pound of grain a day with a pound of hay and looking good the sick calf may weigh more I am just guessing

Nope the one has lost a ton of weight and I am going by the fact that I can lift them. They are Holsteins.

They are about 4 or 5 mo old and they are still eating I am giving them a calf starter feed

Ok guys I am at a loss here with these two calves. I started noticing 2 calves in my group starting to go down hill so I thought I would give them penicillin for a couple days and keep an eye on them. Well they were at the time still standing and eating with the group just slowly losing...

I did implant them and I think that really helped, I am going to do it one more time probably tomarrow actually. What about corn processing a neighbor was talking about selling his roller mill the other day at church and I thought maybe I should try that instead of just shell corn. Texas Bred I...

So I bought the calves and they are doing good feeding 1/3 corn 1/3 soy hulls 1/3 gluten. I peg the calves at 900 to 1000 lbs for the bigger ones. Looking at doing it again I have looked at some of these programms that feed companies have for dairy beef like Tend R Lean, Hormel, Alliance...

I have tried preg checking myself behind the vet just to learn how its done. Its a feel thing more than anything I have bred alot of cows working for AI companies and on big dairies and I had a hard time for a while I still use a vet obviously but I sometimes check cows before they go to sale or...

thanks guys for the replies I have some work to do penciling this all out but I appreciate the info and will tell you how things work out.

I live in eastern Iowa figured it out to be at a cost of around 280-290 per ton of mix using the formula of 35% corn 25% bean meal and %40 soy hulls. I was doing some research on soy hulls they were saying I could creep feed streight soyhulls to weaned calves on grass (grass hay) up to 500lbs...

Fair enough I thought about the soy hulls they are cheap enough how about replacing the cotton seed meal with bean meal. Yeah I like feeding long stem hay increases cud chewing and keeps them from eating the fence posts. Thanks for your replies it helps to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

I went with the corn gluten (I work in a feed lab with corn gluten as one of the main products I work with in a wet corn mill) because its got 18 percent protein on average 4 percent fat, and 13-15 percent starch. I like the cottonseed meal idea just pricey in Iowa. The steers will be around...
