I always go by 3% of their body weight. (sometimes 2% if they are slow eaters) Get an accurate weight on her and go from there. if she is weighing 6-700 lbs she should be getting anywhere from 18-21 lbs a day.

Why do you disagree? If you want a calf to grow even remotly well you need to be feeding at least 2%. (3 is sometimes pushing it depending on the calf.) :roll:
