you really need a calf starter , I have raised lots of bottle calves , right now I have 2 Jersey bull calves on replacer , at 2 months old they are still on 2 qts 2 X a day and are eating a flake of alfalfa and 4 to 5lbs of calf starter a day , I buy 50lb bags of an all milk protein replacer , and will go threw 2 to 3 bags per calf before I wean at 3 to 4 months , if I am feeding raw milk and it is a beef calf I have fed up to or more than a gal 2 times a day of raw milk , when I am milking , I have also done 1/2 replacer and 1/2 raw gal per feeding , I never give stocker feed till they are at least 3 months and also add Calf manna / Milk Plus / Animax to the stocker grower for higher protein , I have repeat costumers for my calves , as they know they are healthy and look good , and I get a higher price for them when I go to sell , calves left on the cow drink way more milk than you think , I have had them drink 4 to 6 gal per day , but I do know what my cows produce , as I also milk them till their calf is taking it all
