[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 1093667, member: 8382"] Are these Holsteins ? Are you wanting to make money ? You can grow frame on beef calves for less money, but holsteins are another story Depending on whether you have good pasture or hay will make a difference on what ration to use I would worry about getting the ration too hot Not knowing any of the above This is what I would recommend 50% corn 25% soybean meal 25% oats The oats will help insure they're getting enough roughage and they say oats keep calves growing That's going to put the ration at about 18-19% protein So depending on your hay or grass that may need to be adjusted Depending on what you have available that may need to be adjusted [/QUOTE]
