[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 407705, member: 6734"] Can you experienced cowpokes offer some advice? I took in a bottle calf at 1 week and started feeding Purina milk replacer (2 bottles/day... 1 in am. and 1 in pm) At round 6 weeks old I reduced his bottles to 1/day and introduced Startena. He's eating the startena and small amounts of hay very well. He's now 8 weeks old so I stopped the milk replacer. We took him to the county fair and was told by friends they fed their bottle babies for 21 weeks. I defended myself by saying I was trying to follow the directions on the bag of milk replacer (which actually said to start weaing at 4 weeks.... I just read it a little late!). I thought I was doing a fine job with this little guy. Do I ignore the bag and keep feeding milk replacer? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
