[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 738108, member: 4362"] Alice is an expert on this so maybe she'll correct everything I say that is wrong. Its a job. When I've done it I bottle fed them twice a day. In the beginning, I mix the milk replacer just like the directions say but I cut out about a pint or so of the water. It seems this helps cut down on the scours. I also take a little sweet feed and put it in their mouth just so they can get a taste of it. Usually after I have fed a bag of replacer the calf will start to eat on its on pretty good. I'll sometimes pour a little of the powdered milk on the sweet feed as well. Some calves are easy but some are hard to break from the bottle. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
