[QUOTE="gg4rebels, post: 578268, member: 8426"] I never fed my two bottle calves more than 2 - 2qt bottles a day! They got one around 6 am and the other at 6 pm. Actually the older calf was on the bucket when we got him. He still was fed 2 qts in the am and 2 in the pm. That is what the directions on the bag indicated. As for the calf feed, I used the 18% stuff until just recently. They now get 13% calf feed. They are 5 months and 3 months old now. You might want to sprinkle some of the MR on the feed in the bucket to encourage eating. This helped with mine. I told my husband yesterday that I was ready to get a couple more bottle calves before it got cold......well not really cold because in central Mississippi it might get to the 40s and maybe, just maybe to the 30s a day or two.
