[QUOTE="Latta, post: 625302, member: 7078"] If I slowly reduce the amount of grain I give them, how much grain should I keep in front of them. Currently I am feeding my 400-600 lb. calves 12-15# daily, 600-800 lbs. calves get 16-20#, and 800 on up steers 20-26# daily. They have free choice loose mineral and hay. I was planning to add corn stalk bales to feed, they seem to enjoy eating most of their corn stalk bedding. I thought this would work but always question yourself when changes have to be made. My question is, when reducing grain intake how much is enough? How much corn should they be fed and do I keep the protein level the same or should I consider gluten pellets instead? Thank you for your input it does really help. Latta [/QUOTE]
