Subject: Re: question with a bottle calf


Easy on the milk! I def. would not increase it....A hungry calf is far better off then an over feed one. Are you feeding milk or replacer...If replacer make sure its got ample fat and made with milk protien. Keep the nipple hole small so he has to work for it and salvates a lot....Saliva is the best thing for a calf! Regarding the grain....Shove some in his mouth after his bottle...Keep pan up off ground so when he's trying to find something to suck on he finds the bucket. Keep the grain fresh...should be eating a small amount in 7-10 days. Good luck! Jake
