[QUOTE="rk, post: 161933, member: 2993"] I think you have the right idea with limiting. Usually, calves under 400 or so won't eat more than 4-5 lbs, unless cows stressed and not milking much. After 400 lbs, they can really chow, and then conversion gets pretty poor. If you can limit to about 1-1.25% of bodyweight, conversions will most likely be pretty good, at least under 7. Salt or other commercial limiters can help do this and make creep a pretty good investment. My .02. rk [/QUOTE]
