[QUOTE="bklogs, post: 938938, member: 19008"] Have ran out of grass becuase of drought and all my cattle are 1st calf heifers now eating hay, most calves are in the 250lb range and 2-3 mos old. Figured I could really benifit from creep feeding, I just had the feed store mix a batch for me that is 32.5% DDG (25% protein) and 62.5% extender pellet(since it was cheaper than soyhull pellet (12% protien) and 5% molasses. Should be getting it to around a 16% protien mix.Was wondering if this is a good ration for the calves free choice in the creep feeder? I have never creep fed before. My thoughts were to get em started with this and after awhile when they get bigger to switch the molasses for salt and get the salt to around 10% to limit them on it.
