[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 887452, member: 3162"] We've had this discussion 100 times over already and it seems every time it comes up, tempers flare. I am totally opposed to buckets. Bottle racks are fine. It is biologically proven that getting the groove open to get the milk to the right place is better achieved with suction from a bottle. Then the naysayers will come in with other links and opions. I have done lots of bottle calves over the last 40 years going back to Dad's rotations in my youth between the bottles and nurse cows. We tried the buckets back in the 70's and the calves started looking doggied. Went back to placing the bottles in racks and the problem was solved. Aint never used a bucket since. I run nurse cows now. Only bottle when I have to. I don't want someone coming in and telling me the difference between doggie and doagie. You can call 'em whatever you want. My experiences result in total opposition to buckets. There are some lengthy discussions on this through-out the forums with some really good inputs. Search them out if you are interested. [/QUOTE]
