[QUOTE="Red Boots Farm, post: 1554603, member: 32787"] Thanks in advance to any seasoned bottle-calf veterans. This is our 6th bottle calf over the past couple of years. We obtained a large Holstein/Char. cross calf (150 lb. birthweight) that is now 18 days old. He is a very vigorous and a big feeder and loved the calf starter from the get-go (about Day 7). We introduced it by hand and have kept doing that because he enjoys it so much (up to 1.5 lb per day!) but now I remembered I should have just let him self feed out of a bucket to avoid overdoing it. Now I'm concerned we've invited gut problems. His poops have been normal so far though. I was prompted to review his nutrition because one of his knees became swollen and tender tonight, which I do not think is related but and will address on another board. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
