[QUOTE="J and L, post: 214911, member: 3494"] The biggest thing that beef calves have over dairy is having their own 24 hour milk bar :) Dairy calves can gain as well on the accelerated programs that feed ramp up to a gallon of high protein (28%) replacer twice a day. Downside is that the cost is about $15/bag higher in price and you use almost twice as much. Remember that weight is relative-- if you feed weigh her right after feeding she will be 4# heavier-- so you are really looking for trends that don't go backwards or slow down. Graphing age vs weight is the easiest way to track this. [/QUOTE]
