I would say you could start already slowly mixing in some corn. Ground ear corn would be the best but that might be impossible. The next best thing would be to have the shelled corn run through a roller mill, maybe a third of the ration to start out at and limit feed them at first. I know some Holstein feeders that put their calves on whole shelled corn but not sure on the size. Speaking of oats, I grow about 12 acres each year to satisfy our feeding needs for creep feeding our beef calves. Oats is really a cheap crop to grow and it is not unheard of to get 100 bu. or more per acre and if the price goes up a little from the prices now, it is not a bad cash crop. You get the crop off early and can sit back and take it easy----------yeah right.
