On older calves, as in yearlings, how much purina precon are you guys feeding to help with belly?

Is it high enough in energy or do you wait to increase the amount of precon to 50% or more until the cattle are heavier?  Our spring yearling heifers are good sized, but am not sure if they will have enough condition if I increase the level to 50% precon now.  I assume the precon level varies with the frame size, etc., of the heifer.
