According to Feedlot Magazine, one study found that nursing calves between 2-5 months of age consumed about 60% of what the cows were eating. This means that if cows consumed 4 ounces of mineral mix per day, their calves were eating just over 2 ounces. A good rule of thumb would be increase the target disappearance rate by 1.6 times to account for calf consumption once they reach 2 months of age. That's an answer to the question of how much free choice mineral are nursing calves eating. From Feedlot Magazine, you can find that post on our Harvest USA report Facebook page.
