[QUOTE="Amo, post: 838022, member: 14857"] Ya my grain mix was post weaning. When I crept it was a wheat mid/soy hul type of product. My calves still got fleshy on that. My ave cow wt is around 12-1300. I think thats what bit me the most on creeping. Not enough frame to be getting grain at that time. Plus I don't calve till mid march. Grain mix is cheaper, but does just what you said. Ya I know megacal. So the ration that Till-Hill says....whats that megacal? I backgrounded my calves on a ration this year which ran from 42-28. Ya I know thats green, but in my country if you push em too hard they dock the heck out of you. It was a cheaper ration than using a lot of corn. They didn't gain like you say because of not a lot of energy, but they paid the bills. It just supriesed me when I read that sounded like lots and lots of energy. I assumed that you got more " muscle growth" out of protein, than corn. The ratio just sounded weird. When you mention to overcome maitnence I can see 4:1 I guess. [/QUOTE]
