[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 672167, member: 5106"] A 4 day calf is still a baby..Just like in human babies if you water down their formula you get serious issues as well as countless others that could become life threatening. I would feed it 3 times a day, 3 pints each feeding and follow label directions for the age of the calf ..Increase slowly as calf grows, the more they want and can handle the more you give them. But do it responsibly. I really do not expect a 4 day old calf to eat calf starter, nibble leafy green hay maybe, but that is young for them to like the starter. Also make sure you are using all milk replaceer and have fresh water available at all times. [/QUOTE]
