[QUOTE="CG1, post: 1611657, member: 38577"] My point on the number of days to feed colostrum was in a perfect world. If I have it on hand and can feed it to my calves I will for the first 6 or so feedings. I try to create a natural transition. Most of mine come at 3 days old so I just go right to milk replacer. When I end up with an orphan due to circumstance, not dairy removal, I have buckets from the local dairies to feed them but I’ve gotten it all free. I’d actually have no access to buy any around here unless it was powdered. I think you’re doing all the right things Hereford! I wish I had two angus bottle calves! My angus bottle babies have always turned out wonderfully. Got some of my best mamas that way (personality wise). [/QUOTE]
