[QUOTE="larryshoat, post: 494753, member: 6773"] Sounds like to me that you are giving plenty of powder in not enough water. The standard recommendation for a 100 lb Holstein calf would be 8oz powder in 2qt water . The reason for this is that the composition of the calf's body is about 12.5% solids, the composition of properly mixed milk is 12.5% solids. If you want to continue the way you are going you need to come back between feedings and feed warm water with the bottle between meals. Larry [/QUOTE]
