[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1126643, member: 22072"] When it came to powered calf milk i've always been under the impression that more is not better. When they need more than the 2 recommended bottles, i graduate them to feed and grass....not more milk. How many have you raised on more milk? I'm assuming its worked for you, so i'm asking out of curiosity. You go to way much trouble in mixing. I just use hot tap, stir with a stick and its done. I mix so many bottles in a season, aint nobody got time for that.lol. If you bag it in serving sizes, the milk stays powdery like when you open a fresh milk replacer bag. So every single serving bag you dump, mixes easily. And open one end of the sandwich bag and it easily pours into the bottle.... I remember in the day when my kids mixed the milk. By the end of the bag it was all clumpy, and where they dumped the cup of milk, the garage floor would be a sticky mess. And that stuff just eats my hands up, so i try to never let it touch my skin.
