[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1730538, member: 39373"] A lot depends on how old they are and if THEY are ready. I've had em eat feed from day 1! I've also had some that were perfectly content with a bottle and picking on some grass or hay. Calf manna seems to pique their interest too. And the smaller pelleted type feeds. As well as a textured high grain sweet feed have worked well for me.. However! My friend down the road, started his on premium Bermuda hay and bottles. The goal after all is to get em processing grass like they were designed to do. Least that's what he told me.... 😆 His have done well. I had the best luck, penning mine tight. 10x10 pen. Water. No bottle! When they started eating feed, I resumed regular bottles and cut em back to 1 bottle a day for quite a while. [/QUOTE]
