King City, Mo | I cant remember what i did last year for the boys
Bottle calves on cracking the popcorn in their feed mix…
Calves are currently getting 1
Bottle in am with 1 egg.
Calves were born week of april 19th
2-3 scoops of a 64oz ice scoop per day per head. Some eat all 3 Some only 2 scoops.
Boys feed one bottle in morning, top buxkets of water off and put feed out and then check feed late afternoon/evening.
The 8 head eat 1.5-2 5 gallon buckets of cracked popcorn kernels, oats and 41% protein pellets with bovetec per day and have for a few weeks when we went to 1
Bottle a day.
In 2 weeks we will be out of milk replacer, longer if we cut to half rate to slowly ween them 100% off the bottle.
How long should i keep cracking the popcorn kernels in their mix?
I think last year we made it till September or early oct before we went to strait kernels/oats/41% pellets as i got crazy busy with popcorn orders/pumpkins/harvest ect.

My oldest still hasnt gotten over cattle feeder disease so he’s packing 3 buckets of popcorn/pellets to the ones fromlast year each day and even started doing rotational grazing with the 2 little pasture area.
The ones from last year are still super friendly and you can pet 4 of the 5 without any feed or anything with ya. One bwf wants its head rubbed everytime you go in to feed them before it eats feed.
