[QUOTE="shorty, post: 143380, member: 187"] We get the calves when they are a few days old start them on milk replacer ( 22% protien 18% fat) put a 20% calf starter in front of them and also good 2nd or 3rd cutting grass hay. when they are about 6 wweeks old we start mixing some of our own feed ( 16% ) and at weaning at 8weeks or so we switch to our feed, we band a few weeks after weaning . if the feeder price is good we sell as feeders, if not they go in with our other steers which get a i2% mix of ear corn oats barley and supplement about 2-2.5% of their body wieght per day plus 1st cutting grass hay whatever they want, Holstiens need a little more feed than beef breeds to get a nice finish but you can get them nice.
