[QUOTE="Loch Valley Fold, post: 612879, member: 8216"] Had to get a bag of Opti-pak it has [b]Fat[/b] 20 % [b]Protein[/b] 23% The younger calves seemed to enjoy it though a couple of the older calves turned their noses up at the taste. It doesn't seem to mix up as good as the Palastart, although I didn't have the water hot enough so that may have been the problem. If I was to rear calves on goats than I would need about 50 milking goats, this year we're batch calving got about 50 cows to calve in January :help: the young bull we used has sired 12 calves so far for 4 bulls & 8 heifers those 50 cows are all in calf to him. When giving dolomite the rate is 1 desertspoon full each twice a week as well as 2ml of seaweed concentrate on the same days as you give the dolomite. Usually after 7 days calves will get a "stress" scour once they are started on either bucket or bottle feeding. Scourban is another good product to use & should be available from your local vet.
