[QUOTE="TR, post: 564311, member: 22"] Yeh, I tend to think its too much protein for him in this heat, AND that he's a bit of a wuss, but will temp him tomorrow morning just to be sure......we all know the only sure fire way to know that he's not coming down with something or maybe trying to fight a bug off is to temp him. He's fine in the late evenings and the mornings, and he's alert when he's panting; licks himself, noses the leaves on the ground (pretending to graze since there's no grass) and he certainly doesn't look or act like a sick calf. He does need some kind of protein suppliment for his growth though. The range meal that we're feeding is about 13.5% protein which is only half a percent lower than the creep, but maybe with the salt limiter, he won't eat as much so the protein level may not be as much of a problem as it is with the creep. I'm just worried that I'm not going to meet his nutritional requirements without the extra protein for him. [/QUOTE]
