[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 234656, member: 3162"] Dun has a really good point, as usual. Secondly, a whole lot has to do with the supplement quality you are using. You can check previous threads for excellent advice of which supplements to use. Some stuff is junk. When I have bottle fed through the years, I always fed twice a day at precise as possible 12 hour intervals. The calves were given free choice of feed, hay, grass and water continually. Also, each calf from each breed is going to have differing tendencies. It is hard to come up with a hard fast weaning age, but there are some good rules of thumbs out there. I tend to feed on the bottle a bit longer than most. Pay attention to the calves acclimation to feed and hay/grass intake when you determine when its time to wean. If you are keeping the calf for breeding, or sending it to market, will make a difference in what you do. Keep their pens and water clean. There is nothing like having a good nurse cow to take care of it for you. [/QUOTE]
