[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1741796, member: 3162"] Suckling a bottle opens the esophageal groove such that the replacer goes to the right stomach. It is vacuum. Don't take my word for it. Search this out on the internet. You do not get that with a bucket which is why I am opposed to bucket feeding. When I have done the older calves they are close quartered in a medina hinged gate. Back them in such that their back side is on the wall and they can back no farther. Let them get hungry. Then off the bottle and they could have to be force fed at the start. Once they get started, you are set. You might have to put them in the medina a few times. [/QUOTE]
