2 Bags of milk replacer and 18% calf starter. Once they are looking good the last couple days they get half water half milk replacer.
Then they go into a pen and have the 275/1725 mix with 75 M. Holstiens have a bigger frame and so you can just feed the finisher thoughout. The grower you need more pellets which doesnt make sense because its just fiber. Get the fiber though the stalks and save money. I have all ages in the pen so I just feed the 275/1725 mix all the way though. However at the last couple months you can drop down to 200 of the finisher if you have just one age group.

Roll the corn do not grind. Corn is dry It will keep. Mine will hold about a months right now worth of feed with a 6 ton feeder. That will probably get cut in half once I get the calves I got in a different pen on the feeder.

I see no savings with TMR for my operation because of the cost of equipment and the time.
