[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1657086, member: 24816"] Some people will disagree, but I have always heard to start them out slow and build up to the recommended amount of milk. That is how we do it and have had much better success than giving the full amount that early on. They can get dehydrated pretty quick from scours. I also try to get them on a calf starter/developer ration as soon as possible. After a few days of age I will put a little of the feed in their mouths after bottling and leave some in a pan on the gate for them to have free choice. [/QUOTE]
