[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1143747, member: 9267"] You're right. I was thinking they were trying to feed them a bottleful eight hours apart, which for some calves would ensure they weren't hungry for their feed - the larger ones would probably manage it. My calves get weaker colostrum until they're 5 - 7 days old, so usually first milking colostrum is fed for the first 36 hours then transition gradually to milk using second/third/fourth milking 'colostrum'.
