[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1513789, member: 968"] Are they eating all you are giving them? Would they eat more grain? You are at less than 2% of their body weight. They can be eating 3%. So if they are now 500#, that would be twice as much as you are feeding. Have they been de-wormed? Calves are very susceptible to heavy worm load and they won't grow. Are you trying to background them or finish them? Two different things. In my mind, backgrounding you are trying to grow frame and put on a little weight (to me that is a waste of time). Finishing, you want to gain as much weight/daily as possible. To me, time is money. [/QUOTE]
