[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1633356, member: 38479"] You will find the main difference is the protein, initially the protein is higher, as weaning age of over 6 months it is a lower % It is more related to the age and stage of growth for the calf, the lower protein feed will not hurt them, but it wont help them grow as much, if they still get milk once a day, I would not worry as long as it is 12-16% protein. It wont hurt the steer to have the calf pellets, you just pay more for the higher protein content & often it is medicated, so if it were me, I would just feed them all the better calf pellet, just give less to the steer dependent on age and size. Keep in mind I am working off local products. [/QUOTE]
