[QUOTE="mom to 4, post: 367459, member: 5790"] OK -- when I asked about this I was just curious so I could file it away for future reference. Now it looks like we may have a bottle calf. Mama is losing weight and not producing milk. I've been using a really good milk replacer (18/21) According to the label I should give this calf 3 1/2 to 4 qts. a day. I'm sure he would eat more, but I was somehow under the impression that if I gave him much more than that, it wouldn't be good for him. Maybe give him scours/diarrhea or something. So you think it's OK to give him more? 2 gal. would double the label recommendation. He's about 70-80 lbs. angus x. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
