[QUOTE="SHF, post: 311050, member: 5469"] Rockin J, don't be shy with the grain when they are first weaned. Calves rarely eat enough when they are first weaned to hurt themselves. Lots of good advice already given by the others. Only thing I could add is our guideline of how much to feed to backgrounding calves once they are eating well. Good to feed about 1% of their bodyweight in grain per day, i.e. 600 lb calf gets 6 lbs of grain per day. Not too scientific but a good rule of thumb. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
