[QUOTE="novaman, post: 307634, member: 2744"] I don't have a set percentage that I go from. It varies depending on availibility and price. I suppose 50/50 but it also depends on how careful you are when feeding. Barley tends to be a bit more touchy then corn when it comes to bloat. Now Randiliana suggested using oats. Oats is very safe because the chances of bloat are much less. However, oats doesn't supply nearly as much energy as either barley or corn. I guess my concern would be trying to get calves onto feed first and foremost. The second concern is giving them enough energy to keep them from going downhill. If you can take care of that it doesn't much matter what they are being fed. The reason i use molasses is to encourage them to eat the feed. [/QUOTE]
