  • Feeding Directions

    Feeding Tips
    Slowing Rate of Gain: If calves are gaining too rapidly, it may be necessary to use one of the following options:

    Decrease the daily allotment of Sunglo Show Calf Feed by 2-4 lbs., OR
    Add Sunglo Full Tank™ and feed at a rate of 1-5 lbs. per head per day to meet desired weight gain.
    Difficult Finishing: Some large-frame calves may require longer finishing periods or increased energy density in the finishing ration to achieve the desired finish.

    To increase energy, feed half Sunglo Show Calf Developer and half Sunglo Show Calf Finisher.
    Add 1-3 lbs. of Sunglo LiquaFAT™ to reach desired finish.
    Going Off Feed (Burnout): This feed has been carefully formulated to promote consumption. However, should your calf experience a drop in feed consumption of more than 10% of targeted daily feed intake for more than two days, blend in Sunglo 2 the Fullest with Cob™ at a rate up to 1/2 of daily intake to enhance appetite. A more dramatic drop in feed consumption may require going back to the beginning and re-initiating your calf to feed. In either case, return to Sunglo Show Calf Grower ration should be done gradually. Should your calf go completely off feed, consult your veterinarian.
