CC when they reach about 2# will then tend to take to live forage and will be competition for the LMB. Until then the CC will mainly feed on pellet food if feed on a regular schedule. However LMB will also feed on smaller CC if your CC are in a breeding envirmoent. Most people tend to want to grow the largest LMB possible and often do not want the extra forage competition.
