each calf gets 1 lb/day when it's warm and a hair over 1 lb/day when it's cold. So 100 bottle if there truely is 50 lbs.

30-40 bottles? No way, that means you are using over a pound of replacer per bottle.... Most replacers call for 8 ounces of replacer per bottle.... thats 2 bottles per pound of replacer =ing 100 bottles per 50lb bag.... Ofcourse give or take a few...
