[QUOTE="robertwhite, post: 1010311, member: 15043"] Have a month and a half old bottle baby who was started on calf starter (pelletized 17% protein with corn, and other stuff and a molasses smell) at about a 2 weeks old. At the time, I mixed it with a little oatmeal so it would be softer and gummier. He was eating it just fine out of my hand. Then when I let him into the pasture with the rest of the herd, he started turning up his nose (literally) at it. I now can't get him to take it whether plain or mixed with oatmeal, and he is definitely a little too skinny for my likings, especially when compared to his siblings of around the same age. He is getting a bottle (10oz of powder to 2 qts water) twice a day and a mid day bottle (2oz of powder to 2 qts water) just so I know he is getting water. What can I do to get him to take the grain/feed? [/QUOTE]
