[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1750077, member: 968"] You did not mention what your goal is for these heifers. Just weaned? meaning 6 to 8 months of age? Keeping for breeding? What age? When I hear calf starter, I think of an 18+% protein. If you have growing good grass, that is too high of protein. Not saying that little bit will hurt, it's just a waste of money. Weaned calves need a total of about 14-15% protein. They could be getting 15-20% from grass. I definitely would continue feeding something. If nothing else, you see them close up. [/QUOTE]
