[QUOTE="dun, post: 126401, member: 34"] The ration we use for weaning consists of about 1/3 corn, 1/3 corn gluten pellet and 1/3 soyhull pellet. The actually percentages are a bit lower because there's also some mineral, limestone, cottonseed. They're on that ration for 6-8 weeks, about 1% up to 2% of their body weight. After the 6-8 weeks they're turned out with the cow herd and don;t get any supplement until th following spring breeding season and that's just to get thm into the catch pen. If the winter weather is particualry cold and wet we'll give them a little of the same supplemnt. It works out to around 13-13 1/2% protein. dun [/QUOTE]
