Data utilized in this study were from records (collected over a two-year period) of 45 Angus cow-calf pairs in which both the individual TDN consumption of the cows over a twelve month period and the individual TDN consumption of the calves from birth to slaughter (excluding TDN provided by milk) were recorded. The objectives of this study were to determine total digestible nutrient (TDN) consumed by cows of various sizes and weights, to determine the TDN intake of both cow and calf per unit weight of slaughter calves which varied in growth potential, to establish weights at which maximum TDN …
