[QUOTE="jerry27150, post: 681001, member: 1177"] how old are these calves. young dairy calves require 16-17% protein grain mix. when they get up to 5-600 lbs you can drop back to 14-15% grain mix. all need good hay with grain. we always fed free choice hay & 5-6 lbs of grain. if they are over 7-8 months old you can turn them out on pasture & they will do fine. don't forget salt & minerals if not mixed in grain. avoid to much grain as it will only grow fat cells in place of milk cells [/QUOTE]
