[QUOTE="gg4rebels, post: 550529, member: 8426"] I need your input on feeding my two calves. Both are Holstein. Bermuda is 2 months old. He is eating 2 quarts of milk replacer from a bucket twice a day. Sometimes he will drink it all sometimes not. He is offered calf starter in a bucket as well. He seems to nibble on it but never really chows down. He is also given fresh hay. Water is also available. He just seems disinterested in the solid food. Thoughts? Spade is just about two weeks old. He is also getting 2 quarts of milk replacer twice a day. He loves his bottle! I am working with him on drinking from the bucket. I let him start sucking on the nipple and then slowly put it in the bucket of milk. Sometimes he will keep drinking after I slip the nipple away....sometimes not....we just start the process over. I make sure he gets all the milk. I have also started putting some solid food in the milk bucket. Am I feeding these two boys enough? Where do I go from here. I want healthy, happy calves. Thanks for any advice. Gale :help: [/QUOTE]
