[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1618614, member: 38479"] Changing the feed like that would def make a difference, but he will adjust. Make sure protein levels are high enough, and energy is high enough, and that he is not filling his belly on too much hay or straw. I am not sure what the creep feed has, but he is past the creep stage, should be on a feed that is about 18% protein, or 16% & follow the feed guide. All the ones I can get locally are 18 to 20%, about 12 meg energy, and about 2% body weight fed, plus roughage. Look at ingredients, and weigh what your feeding, so you can tell exactly if he is eating what he should be, or if he needs more, or something else. [/QUOTE]
