need feed help

[Finley Club Calves]

Doyou have any suggestions for getting a calf to gain weight fast? ??? We have them on hi-pro show calf starter, beetpulp and free choice grass hay. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have a calf with a pot belly. he is on the same feed ration. Any suggestions?

Divide the grain ration into 3 or 4 portions throughout the day, in the amount they clean up in 20 minutes.
Ration the hay! Concider cutting down the beets. Incleases grain intake.
Are you feeding anything to manage the inefficient organisms of the gut? Such as soda bicarb or rumensin.
Parasite treatment.
If not intended for breeding, ...hormone implants.

I am feeding them soda bicarb and they were just wormed.
