[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 67294, member: 852"] The type I buy is 8oz (1/2lb) to 4 pints (2 quarts) of water - but there's a little common sense involved if you're mixing it in a bucket and then pouring the milk back into a bottle. 8oz of milk replacer + 4 pints of water just doesn't fit in a bottle, and you'll have some left over. In other words, she'll get shorted on liquid until you get her to drink from a bucket; at that point you can also give her extra water (2 1/2 - 3 quarts) in with the powder. 2 quarts just doesn't fill them up. Good luck on getting her to drink from a bottle - generally calves on a cow don't take to the bottle very easily. She may have to miss a feeding before she'll decide to drink. [/QUOTE]
