[QUOTE="countrybumpkin90, post: 1417127, member: 28230"] We have 2 club/4-h calves that are appox 90 days old. Took them for tagging and to be weighed this past Saturday and they were 177lbs (bull, soon to be steer) & 184lbs (heifer). They have to be at least 300lbs in 8 weeks, this is our first year raising feeder calves. Is there a chance they'll make weight? They were sale barn bottle babies, pure Angus. First 3 weeks we almost lost them to scours multiple times, so they're behind. Currently being fed Umbarger Light Em Up & were previously on Umbarger Prime. I add Calf-Manna to their feed daily due to some hair loss on the bull calf, it's resolved. They have access to some hay. Should I be doing something else? Will they ever gain enough in 8 weeks?
