I had 30 calves that I did not sell this summer because of weight and need help. 2 or 3 of my mentors have suggested that I pulled the calves (450 lbs) and place them on a 40 ac. parcel we own. Here are my questions
1. How much feed should I feed per head
2. Once or twice daily
3. What kind of feed
4. Should I give them any kind of shots for the stress
5. I will be putting out molasses and hay
6. Do I have to grain feed the the whole time or will they eventually gain weight on just hay and molasses
Prices in florida are running .70 for 5 wght steers and .60 for heifers so I would take a beating if I sold right now. :help: :help:
