That all depends on breed, gender (though not much difference between steers and heifers) and what you're feeding them, not to mention if the calf's still on Mom or not. You can get an ADG (average daily gain) anywhere from 0.5 lb/day to 3 lb/day.
A calf can gain between 1 to 2 pounds per day during the first few weeks of its life, depending on factors such as breed, genetics, and diet. After this period, weight gain typically slows down to around 1 to 1.5 pounds per day.

A hungry calf is a healthy calf. Don't feed a calf too much other wise it will scour.

A healthy calf is a calf that's not lethargic, sickly-looking and interested in eating.
A calf typically consumes around 2-4% of its body weight in milk or milk replacer per day. This can vary depending on the age and size of the calf, as well as their individual growth and health needs. It's important to provide regular feedings to ensure proper nutrition and growth.
