[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1817512, member: 25884"] You could go up to maybe 3 qts if he is that big of a calf... after you cut him back for a couple days... and his manure tightens up, you could increase it a little... but I would go to 3x a day feeding if he seems to need more instead of increasing the amount... and get him started eating some grain...stuff a small amount in his mouth after the bottle and let him chew on it and play with it and in a few days he will want to start to eat. That will give him more bulk in the gut tract also, so not as much liquid running out the other end so fast... and help to develop his rumen. I think he is pushing 3 weeks old??? Dairies will start the calves on some grain at a few days old... but definitely at 10 days to 2 weeks... It will also satisfy the wanting more... [/QUOTE]
