[QUOTE="Aaron9876, post: 1307188, member: 24778"] Hello all, I am in the planning phase of acquiring some cattle and had a few questions about using milk replacer for bottle fed calves. The one question i cant seem to find an answer for is once the milk replacer is mixed with water how long is it good for? The reason behind this question is that my work schedule would not permit me to always be there 12 hours after the morning feeding for a calf for the next round. It would be relatively simple to in the mornings mix a double batch, feed the first half then put the second half in a delayed feeder. Basically let the second half of the batch cool off in a container then with a timer reheat and dispense the rest of the mixture for consumption. There are commercial variants of this but they all mix the MR powder and water right then and there and are far out of my price range. Is this just a matter of convince or is there another reason for this. Premixing the MR and water would mean feeding could be done with a timer, heater, and electronic valve. Thanks [/QUOTE]
