[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 605652, member: 5106"] Bottle is better. I think it is because of the esophageal groove ????it goes to their true stomach and is readily digested..Or something like that ,as all others have posted.. :) We dairied and all were fed a bottle, it is easier to continue feeding a bottle than try to train them on a bucket at three days old ; but we did it for nutritional issues. Dairies here in central Alberta ,90 percent bottle feed ,it is also more hygienic to have the calves separated and sterilize bottles/nipples after each feeding, which we did and I still do as well one I have the occasional bottle calf,,,the sterilizing bottles that is .. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
