Can I mix oats in with this?

[JHH]

I am feeding the Feb calves creep feed.Corn gluten,beanhulls,and some corn mixed in.Feed store calls it 1/3,1/3,1/3.They say protein is down to maybe 7%?If I add oats to this would it be ok and how many lbs of oats.
Thanks JHH.

Lightweight calves need in the neighborhood of 12-14% protein to get the best growth. I would mix about 3-400 lbs of 41% soymeal with 16-1700 lbs of this mixture.
