[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1532878, member: 32659"] I try to ramp them up to 6-7# per day. Start at say 3# and every 4-5 days add a pound. I’m not very technical but their rumen needs to adjust to the feed to take full advantage of it. Once you get them broke in 2% of body weight is about right. Watch them and if they get too loose change feeds or back off on the amount a little. Another thing is keeping with one feed mix. I don’t like changing feeds in the middle of a 60-90 day weaning process. [/QUOTE]
