[QUOTE="TerraceRidge, post: 1093562, member: 21599"] I am new to cattle, but I have been doing a fair bit of research on rations. Right now I am looking at buying a few 250 lb. weaned calves from a local farmer to raise for freezer beef, and I would like to know everyone's input. Based on some nutrient requirement tables I have found, I am considering feeding the calves 2lbs of soybean meal and 3lbs of cracked corn per head per day with free choice hay/grazing. I would like to see at least 1.75 lbs/day ADG, but more would be better. Do you think that ration will meet my expectations? [/QUOTE]
