I wouldn't give him any range cubes. If there is any green grass out there he'll get plenty protein.And my experience calves don't readily learn to eat cubes as their mouth is too small yet. Give him ground feed if you wish, a 14 or 16% growing ration is all you need, start him on a pound or two a day and slowly work him up to 4-5 lbs. He'll grow a lot of frame and be ready to finish later on. A calf will look pot bellied if he gets too much roughage and not enough food. I would give him rolled corn. Same amounts. And give him some kind of salt / mineral free choice and of course make sure fresh water is available at all times. Once the grass greens up in the spring you can graze the calf all summer with no grain. Once the grass starts to loose it's punch, say in Aug or so, you probably want to start graining the calf to finish him to butcher. Again start slow but in finishing in the end you will be giving him all the corn he will eat. he'll get fat.
