- This is my current routine with my calves, this is the 5th lot I've reared. We are a beef and lamb farm. All my calves are bought from market around 3-6 weeks old. They all came out of dairy cows. I have bull and heifer calves.

Just wondering if you have much issues with sour and have you tried once a day feeding before, I heard good things with OAD feeding and skimmed milk. Sorry for so many questions but would all calves drink milk from buckets if that's all they had or some need to be bottle fed?
I have never had any issues with scours, I feed twice a day as I find they do better that way and grow faster. I also like that they get the comfort of warm milk twice a day. I use Blossom which has given me amazing results, I also feed straw and calf nuts ad lib which helps prevent scours
Also 99% to onto the bucket fairly quickly, I've had 3 this year that I fed on the bottle as they couldn't get on with the bucket
