[QUOTE="Fleckvieh DPB, post: 53050, member: 828"] well we live in cnaada and we cant affort to spent much time on our bull calves since they dont go for much now due to the BSE you know the story. what we do is bottle feeed em colostrum for 2-3 days then he goes into a group of bullcalves al within the same age group. we have about 10 in the group now all under 2 weeks old. we just dump sour milk into a barrel and there a 3 nipples on the barrel and the calves can drink when ever they want as much as they want. we feed them sour milk b/c then they can drink it cool doesnt have to stay warm over day. because it is cool they wont over drink causing them to get the runnssss also with sour milk the stomach can handel more milk with out getting problems. so the time we spend on them is just teach em at the beguuining wheree the nipple is to drink from. fill the barrel up with milk give them fresh bedding every day to keep em dry make sure they are all healthy give grain and hay so on the group of 10 calves we dont spend more than 1.5 hours a day. thats max count on half hour 2 times a day. al [/QUOTE]
