[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1126291, member: 21626"] Check out the Lely Calm system... It is a robotic feeder that is not financially feasible for beef farmers raising 1-2 bottle calves a year, but if you read about how it works then you could probably pick up a few tricks. Ideally, it would be small amounts fed many times over the day. I've heard that calves raised with cows will nurse as often as every 4 hours... Not that anyone would want to be going out to feed every 4 hours! :lol: Edit: And don't forget consistency... same feeding time every day. [/QUOTE]
