[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1767732, member: 22295"] The last few years we have started our calves on a mixed feed 2-4 weeks before weaning. We then wean and continue with approx 3 lbs of the mixed grain, free choice hay. Usually alfalfa and wheat. This year we will try some peanut hay and maybe some grass hay and free choice liquid feed along with Vita Ferm stress tubs and minerals. At 30 days last year they were around 30 lbs heavier than weaning. With the $25.00 a hundred increase in price it paid to wean them. We sold one bunch at 21 days and they were still heavier than weaning but less. We will see how it works this year. We have noticed it works best on 7-8 month old calves. The younger calves will be slower to gain. [/QUOTE]
