[QUOTE="Alice, post: 517566, member: 3873"] Since he's not drinking his bottle, I wouldn't worry about "too" much. When you notice it's gone, put out some more. I'm sure I always put out "too" much 'cause the calves didn't stand and eat it until it was gone; they'd come back and eat some more later. If your husband is putting out 3 to 4 pounds of feed a day, and that calf's eating it, he'll be ok without the milk replacer. And of course, as he grows, he's gonna require more feed, so when you notice the feed is gone, put out some more. You'll get used to judging it as time goes on. Alice :) [/QUOTE]
