[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1107974, member: 12607"] grit, 3-4% CP? That's pretty abysmal. What's the TDN - < 30? That sounds like the typical starvation ration around here. It'll fill 'em up, but they can't get much out of it. Have seen 'em drop bc and die with a belly full of that stuff, if they're not being supplemented with some grain & a protein source. Calves born to protein-deficient dams have a hard time generating body heat, getting up & nursing, and getting adequate intake - and absorption - of colostral antibodies. [/QUOTE]
