[QUOTE="VCC, post: 1101924, member: 6399"] I never fed over 25 a day (plus grain hay) but a cold day around here is low 50's, I would guess 32 is good, as long as they are cleaning it up and not getting too loose, just watch them, if their gaining and putting on mass you should be fine, 2-3 % of their body weight is the rule thumb. Just watch them near the end so they do not get sloppy on you, you want hit your fair with a nice smooth layer of fat, not rolls of fat. Some calves will eat all you give them but at some point the excess just runs on through, at the price of feed it is not worth it. If you can post some pictures, would like to see them. [/QUOTE]
