I would only offer him some oats for starters. mix your milk and put a handful of the calf starter feed in the milk and let it disolve . later cut the slit in the bottle and thicken it up some more. when you are sure he is not scouring on the mixture of milk and feed , then start introducing the feed a little at a time in a bucket maybe mixed with some dry oats. good luck</p><p></p><p> <a href="mailto:jre@aol.com">jre@aol.com</a></p></blockquote><p></p>
