[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1307341, member: 9267"] reconstituted milk will sour just like ordinary milk. Calves will happily drink cold milk/sour milk if they are used to it - I would definitely not try this with very young calves, nor recommend alternating feeds between fresh warm milk and sour milk for any calves - some may decide which they prefer and choose not to take the sour milk. Souring will be minimal if the first batch of milk is chilled quickly and kept cold. Another option to look at would be yogatising - as long as it doesn't get too thick to be suckled, the yoghurt starter will give a consistent culture/taste. ad-lib or once daily feeding systems may also work well. If this is your first time raising calves you're better to do it the traditional way till you know what you're doing - which does mean being there 2x daily at least, and you'll need to be there much more often than that if you have to deal with scours.
