I am new to raising bottle calves i was wodering what is the best feed to feed there a month to two month old been feed started feed just wondering what to feed to faten them up?
 
you feed them calf starter.thats a high protine feed.an you keep them on that feed till they are 6 months old.
 
Feed some kind of calf starter/milk plus or som kind of pellet that is high in fat calcium and protein. When they are a few months older I would start giving them some grain. I make a mix of corn oats and dehy alfalfa pellets mix it and add soy oil.
 
The U of South Dakota has has good field trials feeding steers/heifer 450lbs+ corn stalks, wet (not modified wet), and loose mineral.

They are still running trials to no paper yet, but look to release next spring.
 
does Purina make this in retail bags or bulk bags
