Low starch feeds

[Flacowboy]

What are some low starch feeds/commodities that I can use as creep feed for purebred angus calves pre-weaning? I know corn gluten and wheat mids. Also soybean hulls? In addition, what are the nutrition numbers for these feeds so that I'll know how to mix them?

If you're talking protein only: CGF will vary from 22 to 25%....Midds 15%....soyhulls 10%.

Just "note" that all those values given are on a 100% dry matter basis. Any mix you come up with will probalby only run about 88-89% dry matter. Not a big difference but is there.
