[QUOTE="ozarkbulls, post: 857014, member: 14217"] Not sure where you're at, I give mine mid-day electrolyte bottle (1Qt). Honestly, I would tube feed as much as it takes. I just fed a little bugger I got in on Fri., was on a cow, and he finally realized the whole bottle "thing". Do 2 full qts. if she's a big calf, break it up 1qt at a time if she's little, gonna take a bit of time, but you can't afford to lose anthing in todays day and age! As an aside, I don't claim to be any kind of expert at all. BUT, I have raised 700 bottle calves (almost all Holstein Bull Calves) in the last 3 years, and I've lost 5 total. It can be the most frustrating thing on the planet, believe me! Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
