[QUOTE="shorty, post: 573493, member: 187"] You say you have water available but you are still bottle feeding , sometimes they won't drink much out of the bucket when still on the bottle , I bucket train my calves when they are 4-5 days old , It makes it a lot easier at feeding time , when they are done drinking you wash their buckets and put clean water in until the next feeding, It's important to keep things clean . I like to have them in seperate pens so I can see how grain each one is eating , how much water they are drinking and what their poop looks like so you can catch scours early if you have any. We usually don't have much problem with scours but if we do we like to catch it right away . It's also best if the same person feeds and checks on them most of the time , because that way you will notice any change right away. [/QUOTE]
