[QUOTE="Alice, post: 406743, member: 3873"] If the calf is eating calf feed, chances are it'll be ok without the milk replacer, especially at that age. I'd almost rather poke a sharp stick in my eye than try to get a calf that's been nursing that long on its mother to take a bottle. I have been able to get a few calves interested in a gruel made of calf feed and milk replacer...you notice I said a FEW calvers. One time a calf that I'd given up on decided to take a bottle after it watched it's calf mates suck their bottles from racks. They were older calves and in the same large pen together. It was a monkey see monkey--do type of thing, I think. My sympathies are with ya'... Alice [/QUOTE]
