[QUOTE="highvoltagecattleco, post: 411562, member: 6225"] Purina markets that milk replacer mainly for dairys. It is the best replacer I have ever used. Unfortunately their program isn't for every application. If you are feeding beef cows or looking for a lot of performance out of a dairy, you cant do it on four weeks of milk. Most dairys feed their young calves high protein and high nutrition diets. msscamp gives great advice: COB is much cheaper than Purinas starter feed and feeds well. I wean at 8 weeks. At one week I introduce COB and some grass hay. By the 8th week, they will be eating all their grain at feeding and I will leave free choice alfalfa and grass hay. I don't let them free choice COB. They will over feed themselves on it. This doesn't fit all calves. I have feed one milk for 4 months. He just would not put on any size. [/QUOTE]
