[QUOTE="dm, post: 45970, member: 662"] you need to know how many pounds of feed intake your calves are consuming daily(how many lbs. of feed are they eating a day per head). if they weigh 500 lbs. they should consume .2%-.2.5% of their body weight as a dry matter basis. example 500 lbs. .2% grain=10lbs. grain convert to 90% dry matter = 11.11 lbs. of grain 1 lb. steakmaker + 10.11=11.11lbs. dry matter basis at a 6% mixture this would equate to .66lbs. steakmaker and 10.45lbs. of grain a day.Even a 20lbs. daily intake a 6% ration would be 1.32 lbs. of steakmakerand 20.90lbs. of grain. (well in the safety range). make sure steakmaker is thouroghly mixed with grain. if feed intake is not known, feed 1lb. a day of steakmaker with your grain until your daily intake can be found. 1lb. a day of steakmaker is also is in the safe range but cost you more money.
