I seperated 6 weaned calves about 2 months ago and got them started on feed(corn/38% beef pellet/molasses/alfalfa) ground medium. I put them on a small self feeder about 2 weeks ago and they are not showing any signs of bloat,acidosis,or foundering. My question is do you think this feed mix is too "hot" for them. They have seemed to back off eating hay(round bales mainly grass). This is my first experience with a self feeder,just a little worried about what could happen. And before someone jumps in about $$$$ of the ground feed I don't pay a dime for my corn. I buy the 38% beef for $13/50lb bag and the molasses for $6/40lb bag. Mix is 100 pounds alfala-700 lbs. ground corn-100 lbs 38% beef-10 lbs grainular molasses. Any help would be great.
