[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1342190, member: 20755"] It depends on whether you are buying to sell right away. If you are keeping them as replacements then they really benefit from staying on the milk longer. Calves benefit from the high protein in the milk. I use the 20 percent protein with 20 percent fat. There isn't any feed with those numbers. Cows don't wean a calf at 2 months naturally. To me, the longer you have them on the milk the better they will grow. They do sell a milk replacer with 28 percent protein that allows you to wean earlier because they grow faster. By the way, I always use the buckets that you can hang on a gate or panel. [/QUOTE]
