[QUOTE="tcline, post: 92899, member: 1813"] Hello. I was wondering what problems I might encounter while feeding a grain ration to my (800- 1000 lbs) calves while pasturing them. Is this OK to do, and if so is it worth it? I have been feeding 3-4 lbs once a day, of a 80% rolled corn/ 20% barley mix and plan on slowly moving up to 6-8 lbs a day. Does this sound acceptable? Meanwhile they are getting all the fresh green grass they could possibly want. The only differences I have noticed thus far is a REALLY loose stool, and some of them BULGE on the left side intermittently, however not all of them do this, and not all the time. Thanks in advance for your advice. Todd [/QUOTE]
