[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 459205, member: 968"] Feeders should be started on 1% of their body weight using about a 13% protein ration. Every 7 days they can be increased if they are cleaning up everything fed, til they are eating about 3% of their body weight. Whole shell corn with a protein pellet is a good feed, with good quality grass hay & water. Also a good mineral available. As they increase their weight, you want to decrease the protein pellets. At about 800# they shouldn't need any more protein pellets, just shell corn. Best to feed twice a day. [/QUOTE]
