[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 68401, member: 852"] The way I've always done it with bottle calves is to switch them to drinking out of a bucket. (I've used old WWII army helmets with a handle welded on for the calves.) After they've finished drinking their milk, you put a handful of grain in the bucket. They're already looking in the bottom of the bucket for more milk, so they end up tasting the grain. Usually doesn't take more than a few days before they're cleaning up all the grain you give them and looking for more. [/QUOTE]
