[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 649681, member: 1715"] Obviously dairy calves get weaned very early, so it is possible if not desirable. Before grain went up there was some folks moving to very early weaning of beef calves followed by limit feeding of grain. I have purchased a lot of 250 to 350# calves for backgrounding. They do OK but not great on a mostly mixed alfalfa hay diet - - 1.5 to 2.5 ADG typically. I think forage only is the key point here for young rumens. [/QUOTE]
