[QUOTE="ollie?, post: 464314, member: 5825"] ve fed a calf or two Tod. I don't feed anything fancy. My calves didn't realize they needed pixy dust in their feed. I've seen more than one champion fed strait oats or oats and corn or barley. AAOK is correct in the fact that every calf is different but only in the fact some need to carry more fat, some less. Some have a good apatite and some you have to hunt for different things to make them consume. The best feeders start early and are consistent and know how much condition it'll take to win a certain show and plan for that end on each calf. The biggest mistake I see made repeatedly is starting to put condition on too late. It tends to put on watery type fat and the stress of the road and show takes that bloom off pretty quick. [/QUOTE]
