FEEDING DIRECTIONS: No whole milk is required after the colostrum feeding period when calf milk replacer is used.

MIXING AND FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS: Mix milk replacer powder at a rate of 2 cups* (8 oz. of dry powder) per 2 quarts of water (100-120o F). Feed approximately 2 quarts of reconstituted milk replacer TWICE A DAY. Calves will vary in feed requirements depending on size and age. *Measuring cup in each bag holds approx. 4 oz dry weight.

FOR BEST RESULTS: Provide starter (grain mix) for calves when they are about 1 week of age and feed free choice up to 4 lbs. per day. For herd replacement calves, milk feeding can be discontinued when animals are about 6 to 7 weeks of age. However, a longer feeding period is recommended for small and poor performing calves.

GOOD MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: Good newborn care is crucial to maximize calf survival rates. Immediate feeding of colostrum is one of the most important steps to increase the survival and health of newborn calves. Feed 2 quarts of high quality, first milking colostrum within the first 30 minutes after birth. Feed an additional 2 quarts at 6 to 12 hours of age. Continue feeding colostrum through the third day after birth. • Begin your milk replacer program on the fourth day. Feed twice daily, at regular intervals, according to label directions. Wash pails thoroughly after each usage. Have fresh, clean water available at all times. Dry hay can be offered after the first week. Calves should be housed in clean, dry individual pens that are well ventilated and draft free. Avoid sudden changes in temperature.
