[QUOTE="Beckett, post: 693827, member: 10952"] I bottle feed the holstiens at least 8 weeks. The Brown Swiss a little longer. The Jersey i haven't been able to ween before 12 weeks. The just dont seem to take to the feed as fast. Milk replacer is all milk, no soy. From the first day i have calf starter put in front of them "rosties" and give them free choice until they are weened all the way. also have good water and hay in front of them for choice. I make it a rule not to take them off MR for at least 8 weeks though. Mine are all steers and free martins. I buy anything thats cheap, and this years is alot of them. [/QUOTE]
