[QUOTE="chippie, post: 980177, member: 5644"] Since he is in good flesh, you shouldn't need to change his diet unless you want to pack the weight on him. You should not cut back on the hay. The roughage helps him to keep warm and too much grain can mess up his digestive system if he doesn't have the roughage. Deworm him and rethink your feeding program after a couple of weeks. If you want to feed him more grain, to finish him out would be fine, but watch your protein intake and keep the hay in front of him. I really wouldn't worry about spending the money on alfalfa. A good quality grass hay, the calf manna and a good creep or calf feed should be fine. I almost forgot, you can also feed him beet pulp to help add roughage to his diet. You can feed the pellets mixed with his grain. [/QUOTE]
