[QUOTE="regolith, post: 643436, member: 9267"] reckon you're right HD - I thought I was going to regret posting that, esp. as I realised a few minutes later it's not what I'd ever do in practise (that is, carry on feeding milk/milk replacer at less than 4 days old). There's a fair amount of conflicting information around concerning timing of absorption/effect of previous feeding. I've seen too many calves that apparently didn't feed in the first twelve hours do just fine, to set too much store on the 'they'll die if they don't get it' meme... but even then it's hard to be certain that the calf had nothing at all while it was with its mother.
