[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1469719, member: 14585"] Once they are eating 1.5 lbs/day of calf starter just quit giving them milk replacer. Sprinkling dry milk replacer on top of their calf starter feed can encourage them to eat more starter. IF you don't want to stop their bottle cold turkey then just one bottle a day for 2-3 days and quit. I've found calves prefer a textured calf starter rather than the pelleted starters and a small handful in their mouth when you walk past them a couple times a day also helps. [/QUOTE]
