Ace weighed in at 735 lbs (show steer) and Sal weighed in at 685 lbs on Nov 2nd. They have been on 4H ration for 3 weeks at 11.5 lbs each with really nice free choice second cut hay .
When do we increase the calf starter ration and how much should we bump them up . I was thinking about adding a pound a day until they get to 15 lbs and then keep them on this for another 3 weeks or so .... BUT ????
Suggestions please , thanks :tiphat:
Fwiw ,they are both Gelbvieh calves .
Sorry about the typos etc. should never use my phone to post again ...
