You posted this in another thread. I am bringing this to your attention only to help prevent a problem as you are getting additional calves. You may want to drop back over to that thread and read a reply.

"I got a tape and measured and then followed the directions in my calf-raising book. I think it is 1 qt. for every 10 lbs of weight. My guy is 70 lbs so he should get around 7 qts a day or just under a gallon. (I give him just over 3/4 of a bottle a feeding - we just switched to 2x a day, since he is not eating a bit of grain and drinking water on his own. FREEDOM!!!"
