[QUOTE="farmer4620, post: 137380, member: 2434"] I like oats to grow a calf even though i do not feed them because of the cost to buy them around here but if they were cheap or i raised them I would grow cattle with them. Slighly higher protein than corn and you dont have to process for the calves to take advantage so i would feed that at around 6lbs and then 5-6lbs for the ear corn, barley im not real familiar with but from what i know about it, it seems like pretty good feed its probably higher in energy than the ear corn becasue of the cob in the ear corn so i would mix in 2-3 lbs of the barley. That would put you in the 11 lbs of concentrate range because the cob will make up some of that weight and cob is not a concentrate. Then 10-12 lbs of silage and some supplement and id say thatd be up growing. [/QUOTE]
