[QUOTE="ozarkbulls, post: 887627, member: 14217"] I've done them both ways. I prefer bottle with younger calves, and then bucket break when it seems appropriate. No navel sucking with my calves in individual pens, I can raise 10 at a time, and bottle feeding really doesn't take that long. BTW, I'm not wealthy and I have a nurse cow. Jersey/Hol X, 4 yrs old, bred back, paid $300 for her, puts out about 50lbs of milk a day, and is one of the best "mommas" I've seen. She'll take 3 at a time! Considering milk replacer is damned near $80 a bag, I consider her a bargain! [/QUOTE]
