[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1079323, member: 5644"] Well, when we raise bottle calves, we only feed twice a day. Morning and evening. Dairies and places that raise dairy replacement heifers do the same. I use a bottle like this: [img]http://akamai.edeal.com/images/catalog16754/folder105281/img9656929med.jpg[/img] The calves start nibbling on hay and grain when they are several weeks old. Many people wean around 6 to 8 weeks old. You might find this thread useful: [url]http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49811[/url] You really need to build her a place to live outside as soon as possible. The longer you keep her inside, the harder it will be for her to adapt. What are you going to do when she decides to play with your furniture -- butting it and knocking it about? ETA: Be careful about trying to force her to nurse. It would be bad should she inhale her milk replacer. [/QUOTE]
