[QUOTE="TMRwife, post: 746161, member: 5988"] Have our first bottle calf this year. It seems to me that the standard 2 qts/2 times a day is a little generic. Our calves range in weight from 65 to 95 lbs. Logic would suggest that a 95 lb calf would require more to eat than a 65 lb calf. I have been feeding 2 qts in the morning and 2-1/2 qts at night. I am sure this little bull calf would eat more if I offered it. He weighs approximately 80 lbs. We have put calf manna out for him, and I try to give him some of that with each feeding as well, though he has not acted interested in eating it himself. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
