[QUOTE="Nitrex, post: 1399078, member: 27292"] I'm new to raising calves and had a few questions. My beef calves weigh about 300 lbs. They are eating well on a diet of good brome, alfalfa, and about 4lbs of Purina 14% stocker/grower per day fed in a split feeding. The have free choice mineral, salt, and fresh water I hope to transition them to a local custom mill's 14% grain ration that will save me some money. I would like to push these calves to get them butchered in about 11-12 months if possible. I have access to cheap 2nd cutting alfalfa that is good quality (not tested). Any recommendations as to where I should be on grain, hay, and alfalfa amounts? I could buy more brome, but with access to the alfalfa at the price, I'd like to feed almost all alfalfa and grain. Is that possible? Nitrex [/QUOTE]
