[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 152629, member: 1715"] I usually feed a good grass/alfalfa hay free choice and a couple pounds (about 0.4% of body weight) of ground corn for backgrounding. Light weanling calves around 350# grow slowly (at about 1 pound per day) on this while heavy calves around 600# do quite well (at about 2.7 pounds per day). I test my hay so I think the feed formulation is balanced. Any suggestions on a better feeding system for the light calves that will be going on grass in about 45 days? [/QUOTE]
