[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1648730, member: 39122"] This will be the first year to hold and feed out home raised calves, always bought 700-800lb steers to finish in past. What would be the best to feed the calves as they're being weaned and growing before I transition them to a finishing ration? My local feed store has a 12% stocker feed that is 12% protein, 2% fat, 28% fiber. That seems high on fiber to me, is that enough protein for a growing calf, should I add some soybean mill to increase protein, if so how much? Needing some expert opinions on the matter, as I said I know how to feed a good finish ration but not a good starter. They will be finished on wheat, grasses and 1-2% bw grain to be killed end of May. Calves are 8-9 months old now. [/QUOTE]
