[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 633076, member: 539"] No, not unless you go to bed at 9 and don't get up until 9 - that would be a bit long to expect a day old calf to go between feedings. :lol: Because the calf is so young, I would suggest you break down the feeding in 4 feeding per day - reason being is that he is dependant on the milk, and to only feed 3 times a day carries the risk of causing scours due to too much milk at one time. The first as soon as possible when you get up in the morning, the last as late as possible before you go to bed, and the other 2 spaced out as evenly as possible between the first and 2nd. When the calf hits a week or 2 of age, and is eating hay fairly well you can eliminate one feeding. Simply divide that amount of milk and add it to the other 3. Once he gets started on grain pretty good, do the same thing. You now have him down to 2 feedings per day, plus grain and hay. [/QUOTE]
