[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 623497, member: 539"] 2-3% of total body weight is the norm, but that is going to vary from calf to calf due to appetite, easy keeper vs hard keeper, energy levels, skittishness, etc. There is no hard and fast/one size fits all 'formula' for feeding, you will just have to start with the basic 2-3% of body weight, watch how each animal does, and adjust as needed. Whether or not you are feeding grain or other supplements will also have an impact on how much hay is consumed/needed. [/QUOTE]
