[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 744527, member: 6897"] msscamp, I would never water down the milk replacer either....however, simply adding water to a bottle when the calf has almost finished it doesn't water it down. He's already received 95% of his milk replacer and gets the other 5% in the water. The amount of powder remains the same regardless of the amount of water you mix it in...IF he consumes it all. The calf needs "x" amount of the powdered milk replacer per day. Diluting it hurts nothing as long as he gets that "x" amount of milk replacer....the multiple feedings probably benefit you more than anything and since you do the feeding yourself, nobody knows better than you what amount of milk replacer works best for each calf. Keep up the godo work. ;-) [/QUOTE]
