[QUOTE="Cheyenne, post: 342309, member: 1519"] I will probably go through 3 bags of replacer and a bag of calf starter. After about 2-3 months I cut the bottle to one a day. There has been research published that bottle fed calves are not fed the same amount of milk solids that a nursing calf receives. That is why feeding double the recommended amount on the bag. I think Msscamp posted the research or the link on here previously. The research showed that bottle calves are being underfed. I don't have time right now to look up the post, hopefully Msscamp can repost if she see's this. Or if I find it in the meantime I will post it. [/QUOTE]
