[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1672553, member: 24816"] I never run my bottle calves with the cows and calves. I keep them separate for the reason of getting the bottle calves to eating feed. In order for them to do good they need to be on a ration with adequate protein and eating a decent amount of it before I wean. I am not sure if the calf will get what it needs just from pasture grazing at that young if an age. When we wean we will gradually cut back the amount of milk but still give the same amount of water, then go to once a day with only about half the milk formula for a few days. [/QUOTE]
