Hi Justin, Are you going to be buying your feed for these calves or grind your own? The reason I am asking is because if you have a good trustworthy feed mill or local coop, consult with a cattle nutritionist. Just like a good vet, they can be your best friends for advice for caring for your calves. I myself purchase all my feed from a great local feedmill that mixes my rations for me. I feed out X bred black angus steers from when I get them around 400 lbs. or so. I feed cracked shell corn with DDG's (dried distillers grains) to my steers all the way to market-1300 to 1400 lbs. One thing to be very careful of is BLOATING! Be careful how you feed them from the beginning. Start with small amounts and increase their poundage as they grow. I know there is a product called Rumensin that stops bloating. So talk to your local feed dealer. Get to know them well. I also feed a granular mineral and salt block. They can get this anytime as it is in the feed manger for them all the time. Best of luck to you. I enjoy raising cattle very much, especially on pasture. I hope you will too. Take care. Kow Farmer
