[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 585894, member: 3739"] Protein percentage for those weights should be 14%. 16% CP are for the 400 lb calves. Once they grow up to be 800 lbs CP has to be around 12%. Since they are at a smaller weight and should be grown out to put weight on in form of more muscle than fat, I would feed corn at ~30 to 40% of their diet, closer to ~30%. These calves need to be fed hay, more hay than corn, and the hay should be comprised of mostly legumes and be [i]good[/i] quality, since this, as Knersie stated, is closer to their natural diet that they had been on prior to weaning.
