[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 578270, member: 852"] My vet always told me growing calves need at least 18% protein. After all, we feed them 20% protein in the milk replacer, why not 18% grain? Lactating dairy cows need around 16% daily. Finishing steers need around 12% protein, but they're only laying on fat, not growing frame or producing milk. Dairy animals and growing calves just have extremely high nutritional requirements. [/QUOTE]
