[QUOTE="denvermartinfarms, post: 1112634, member: 16167"] Bez, I agree that they very well may have starved to death. But I have raised a few thousand buttle calves that all get weaned at 60 days and most of the time they are in the 150lb range or maybe just a touch over. They then get fed good feed and hay, but they do fine. The way this sounds is that a month ago they were fine and he was there last week? Yea, 150lb calves can't be done that way, your not doing yourself any favors running the 300lb calves that way either. That's just going to turn them in to stunted knotheads calves. These calves need good hay and 5lbs of feed a day. [/QUOTE]
