[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 167829, member: 852"] For a grain mix, I do like a cottonseed and corn/barley and/or sweet feed combination. They grow well and look good on it. Keep in mind that you can't feed much cottonseed, and 7 week old calves shouldn't have much, if any. Has to do with the development -or lack of- the rumen, if I remember right. Older calves that have been weaned for awhile are fine with several pounds per day. That said, I don't usually feed more than 1-2lbs/hd/day even to the cows, as whole cottonseed has a lot of volume for its weight and my cows don't like a mixture of more than 40-50% cottonseed.
