[QUOTE="novaman, post: 795194, member: 2744"] Backhoe has some good advice about getting the calf to take a bottle. The calf isn't chilled is it? I agree 2 quarts twice a day should be about right. I would mix 8-10 ounces of milk replacer powder in warm water and bring the total volume up to 2 quarts. If the calf won't take to the bottle you'll be forced to tube but I would try my best to get away from the tube. I'm always worried about getting fluid in the lungs. [/QUOTE]
