[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1466359, member: 21194"] Most of the powdered milk I've fed recommended 2 quarts per feeding, and feed twice a day. That's a total of 4 quarts per day. Feed her as many times as you want as long as the daily total doesn't exceed that (and be sure to check your bag to make sure I got the numbers right). Feeding smaller amounts more often might even be better. Every bottle calf I ever raised got pot-bellied. Maybe smaller feedings would help with that. And buy a small bag of the milk replacer pellets before too long. She won't eat much of it now, but you can start putting a little of it in your hand, get her started sucking on your fingers, and then let some of the pellets dribble into her mouth to get her used to the taste. And don't give her more of that feed than is recommended either. It's pretty hot as I recall. [/QUOTE]
