I believe he milks the cows and feeds it to the calves via a "milkbar" system.
(No MR needed)

I do feed MR for the first 3 days then go to milk and I use the highest I can find by american dairy farmers of america


Yes I milk cows jersey and crosses and feed that milk to the dairy heifers.....


the building I bought on ebay for a $220 for one building 28 ft x 15 ft and I just split them in half and make 2 calf buildings out of them when the bulidings get messed up I just pull the stakes move the buildings with my front end load and restock with straw.
