[QUOTE="Alice, post: 342656, member: 3873"] Will they drink from the bucket? We used to feed slop to calves that age that we'd get from the sale barn...milk replacer mixed a little heavy on the replacer and in enough water that when added to the calf feed they could kind of suck it down...like slop. Their nutrition needs to stay UP at this age...and especially in the weird Texas weather we are having. Respiratory junk can set in real quick in an undernourished calf. I really think that maybe you need to be prepared to clean out the pen on a regular basis if it is not very big...a real pain, I'm sure. :( Or, maybe take Horticattleman's advice and apply it right now, and put the calves where their mothers are. They really do need a decent amount of room. Alice [/QUOTE]
