[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1697589, member: 498"] I have also fed those screening pellets. What I used that pre con for was to start them on feed. They seem to go to it real quickly. As I said 10 days max then I change to a lower cost feed. Actually day 7 or 8 I start mixing the lower price feed in with the pre con but I never exceed the 5 pounds per head per day. That lower priced feed was often the screening pellets. If you think of it what is the calf missing at weaning. The social interaction with the cow. Nothing I can do about that. The nutrition from the milk. That is what I am attempting to replace. The other thing I do in those first couple days is have lots of water available. If they are in a pen there is multiple water troughs. Which ever way the calf turns there is water available. [/QUOTE]
