[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 785073, member: 2905"] Not sure what ingredients are available in your area. I buy 2-300# salebarn calves and feed them a 50/50 blend of corn gluten feed and soy hulls. others feed a 40% ddg 60% soy hull blend. With both of these a little roughage is needed. Mine have either grass or hay. There are a number of byproduct feeds that can be cost effective for these little guys. In your situation, with grass being scarce, you could topdress the byproducts with 1-2# whole cottonseed daily. This would give the roughage needed along with a lot of energy & protein. Have found the little guys are extremely feed efficient and grow like fertilized weeds on a good ration. Here's a link to the OSU ration spreadsheet that I use: ://www.ansi.okstate.edu/software/ I use the 3rd sheet from the top. This will allow you to simulate scenarios using the various feed ingredients available in your area to come up with the most economical mix. Be sure to download the instructions also. Hope this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
