Feeding regime for beef calves

Ive got 2 AA calves which are from 1. cow with no milk 2. abandoned.

Im feeding 6 litres milk per day. Access to straw. Ive got an organic all rounder 18% nut. but how much in grams of nuts per day? Also when would you best wean? We'll be keeping them to finish. All tips appreciated.

Start them off on a small amount of nuts and slowly increase the amount as they eat more as otherwise it just sits there getting damp and shat on etc. Wean them at 8-12 weeks depending on how well they are doing and when they are eating over a kilo a day of dry food consistently for a few weeks.
