[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 746365, member: 5106"] The 75 lb can have 3-4 pints twice a day and the 100 should get 4 pints at least twice a day. Get calf starter for them asap, I like to use a 18% calf starter ration and always always lets them have access to hay and water . I would just give them free choice access to the calf starter hay and water. In a few weeks add another pint to their feed of milk and again 2 weeks or so up until they are drinking 6 pints of milk twice a day..If you do not get them on grain soon you will be bottle feeding them until they are 6 or7 months old just like a cow would or you will end up with runty pot bellied ugly calves.
