[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1643360, member: 1715"] Oats puts a shine on calves and they don't get too fleshy. That said, corn based rations have a lower cost of gain than oats. So supplementing home raised grains depends a lot on how you are set up. Free choice oats in a creep feeder or corn fed daily in a bucket. The other September option is feeding wet hay. With average MN fall weather it is hard to get upland hay below 25 to 30% moisture, but you can bale it and then feed it immediately. For me baling a load every other day works well and avoids rejection due to heating. [/QUOTE]
