[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 490951, member: 5106"] If it's dairy ration calf starter then you got the good stuff .More money but it will be a least 18% protein.So don't worry about that. Next thing to remember if you have to feed colostrum again is the first feeding is always the most important and the rule of thumb is feed as much colostrum for the first feeding as they want. If they want 10 pints then that is what you give them, let them drink until they are full.After that 2 litres for the next three feedings is plenty. Feeding # five of the fist milk should go by the size of the calf. If he is drinking too fast from the bottle use a nipple that he has to work at to get the milk out a little harder.His meal should last longer than a few seconds at his age. Sounds like a healthy baby so far. [/QUOTE]
