[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1615474, member: 24565"] For functional development, the issue is gain per day. Too much is bad and will lead to fat heifers for less milk and melting bulls as you mentioned. If you have some grazing or hay then a grower supplement can be used and depending on the conditions and the genetics you can monitor the weight gain. Anything less than 1% BW will never be noticed unless the grazing is excellent. Anything over that that accelerates the daily gain over the limits is too much. So there is not one answer. But a 14 to 16% feed would be a target and the price of the feed is the local question. CPC makes a wide range of feeds and are easy to work with here, too. The feeders could get a higher energy feed and do well. [/QUOTE]
