[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1652991, member: 12607"] First and last time we weighed, calves lost an average of 50 lbs in the first week. This, in a fairly small corral with free-choice hay in front of them 24/7 and at least 5#/hd/day DDG. Don't recall how long it took to get back to initial weight. Just more ammo making me disinclined to do the whole weaning/respiratory vaccination deal, unless I'm getting a premium for those calves...yeah, I know it's best for the calf and the next person down the line, but I'm pretty sure it was always a money-loser for me, here.
