[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 838623, member: 5106"] Also in the last 10-15 years Holstein genetics have been aimed at higher butterfat as you get more moola for your milk. Val the replacer I use when I have to is 24% protein 20% fat and 20% milk sources ,no medication. The other one I used was even higher but at $125.00 a bag just does not make it feasible. Btw all of our Holstein calves were raised on real milk at the dairy ,we never used replacement and I contribute that to a huge part of my great success with bottle calves. I thought you might be able to buy excess milk somewhere, like milk that cannot go into the tank because of WD times . How are they doing ? [/QUOTE]
