[QUOTE="bmoore87, post: 1188189, member: 21684"] Usually get a ration with a pelleted starter feed coming in for a week or two with little gluten to get going. After that they get roughly about 60-65% wet gluten and 30% hay with remainder supplement and corn. This ration changes every month or so as calves grow. Definetly find a feed company with good nutritionist who can put a ration together for you depending on calf size, breed and history. Also there can be a lot of difference between byproducts at the plants and they know about those differences. The one we use prints a predicted feed intake sheet that tells you what amount of feed the calves should eat each day until you sell them. Saves the screwing around I used to do getting them on the right amount of feed. [/QUOTE]
