[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 998957, member: 122"] Only thing I would change is that I think you should try and wean them sooner, usually around 6 weeks of age if you can get them eating enough calf starter at that time. In addition, no hay or forage until at least a couple months old, if giving hay at that time limit the amount. Once transitioned from calf starter, keep corn mixed with a protein supplement in front of them. Don't try to raise them like you would a colored calf or you will get docked when selling them as feeders as they will have too much frame on them. Most feed companies will have a dairy steer program with recommendations, check into several of them that you have access too. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
