[QUOTE="BC, post: 1399136, member: 67"] I agree with Greatgerts on the amount of feed, but encourage you to gradually increase the feed over a 2 to 3 week period to let the calves adjust. If you have access to a set of scales, spot weigh a calf or two about once a month in order to adjust the amount of feed and to measure average daily gain. Watch the droppings. Manure piles should be like a big pie, if it stacks up you are under feeding and if it splatters you are overfeeding. [/QUOTE]
