[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 131981, member: 1292"] We feed our holstein bottle/bucket calves milk replacer twice a day for 6-7 weeks. Then go to once a day for 2 weeks. There are always exceptions. They get fed longer if they are a little smaller or don't seem to be eating enough grain. A couple of times we have had one that seemed to go down hill a couple of days after weaning so we put 'em back on one bottle a day for another 1-2 weeks. Our gauge of when to wean comes from how much grain, hay, and water they are consuming between bottles/buckets. [/QUOTE]
