[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 499568, member: 3162"] I support it too. We tried the buckets back in the 70's and the calves didn't do very well. Not even on the buckets with nipples. I didn't know why at the time. I now know effective closure of their esophageal groove channels milk into the appropriate stomach (abomasum). Good closure is healthier than poor closure. Every time this subject comes up someone comes on telling people to just use buckets and we go through the arguments. I was going to just let it go this time and not bring it up. :lol: Perhaps since I learned the hard way other folks will too, eventually. Those little fellow put quite a vacuum on those nursing bottles and it is not that much trouble to drop them in a bottle rack. [/QUOTE]
