[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 1115275, member: 6734"] Well I'm going to admit...I'm embarrassed by this but I don't know the protein content... I got the recipe from CKC a long time ago and have always used it so I'd have to ask HER!! My regular herd doesn't get it... just the weaned calves (the developing bulls/steer pen and heifer pen) from weaning til breeding age then the bred heifers go out on grass with the rest and the boys stay on grain. My ladies do really well on grass alone (very fine condition even now) so it was totally my error that Granny got overlooked... I DO, however have a bottle calf on Startena (creep) so I thought about feeding her THAT as I have it handy but I also did check with the elevator on Friday...he has a 20% range cube... what do you think? Due to my attachment, I'll BUY whatever I need to for the old girl... just not sure. I have confidence in her calving ability but her developing calf will have anywhere from a couple weeks to a month of packing on weight prior to delivery....Its late but I'll try to take a picture of her tomorrow...
