Depends on how starchy the grain is and your genetics and your class and how finished you want them:
For high starch there has been a lot of studies where efficiency drops off over 0.3% BW/day. So based on this a 500# calf should not get more than 1.5#/day.
For low/no starch by products you can feed more w/o rumen problems.
