[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 614360, member: 968"] You have to be a lot more specific. How old? what does she weigh? If you are talking about a weaned heifer, she should be getting about a 15% ration, with plenty of good quality grass hay, minerals & water. You start her out at 1% of her body weight per day (split in two feedings). Weekly increase her grain a little at a time, making sure she cleans up each feeding within a short time period. Watch her manure. You don't want it too thick/hard or too runny. Too hard, she's not getting enough protein - too loose, she's getting too much - OR - you made her sick with too much grain. I feed all the good quality grass hay they will consume. I keep it in front of them 24/7. [/QUOTE]
