[QUOTE="VA cattleman, post: 1783590, member: 38753"] I have a twin that was rejected by its mother that I have been bottle feeding. He has grown good on the Du-mor all milk protein milk replacer but he’s almost 3 months old now and the cost of milk replacer is adding up. I have been giving him fresh water and a calf starter since he was 3 weeks old but he won’t touch it. Tried to mix a little sweet feed in to make it more palatable and put some in his mouth to chew on after every bottle and he will eat what I put in his mouth but won’t eat any on his own. He gets 2 qts. of milk twice a day and has access to 2nd cutting orchard grass hay but won’t eat that either. Any suggestions to get him on feed and off the bottle? [/QUOTE]
