[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10979"] I can answere the beef calf part, If you have a creep feeder and check cattle daily, calves can start on feed at two weeks of age. I figure .5 lb per her per day, no more for the first 30-45 days, feeding a 14% creep pellet, small (tiny) pellets. If calves don't start eating mix feed with calf-mana, the smell draws them to it. Then increas the feed to 1-2 lb per head per day. If you can't check daily use a feed limiter, or you can run into grain acidosis, bloat, high $ loss in lots of feed eaten but not much gain. I have Coon trouble so I only feed what I know they will eat in a 1-2 day period, I am not raising coons so I have to be careful. [email=kemilimo@tca.net]kemilimo@tca.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
