[QUOTE="gg4rebels, post: 552061, member: 8426"] Thanks for the great info! This morning when the older calf finished drinking his milk from the bucket I put some calf starter in the leftover milk. The 2 week old started licking it. Someone else had suggested feeding him from my hand. That works well too. I am going to cut out one of the milk feedings for the older calf as suggested. Hopefully he will be more encouraged to eat the grain. They both take water from a bottle and I have noticed that the water level in the water pan has gone down so I think they are drinking freely now. They will both eat hay I put out in the mornings. Maybe I should back off on the hay - don't really give them much - to see if they would eat more grain. Thanks again. g [/QUOTE]
