feeding equipment (bottle and nipple) thoroughly before each use. Baby calves also need a colostrum supplement in the first 12 hours of birth, but use this supplement only on the first day.A calf should be fed twice daily. They will drink at least a 1/2 gallon of milk replacement in the morning and another 1/2 gallon in the evening. Continue this routine for the first three months of the calf's life.Provide fresh, clean water at all times. Monitor the intake of replacement milk carefully as too much can give the calf scours. Calves will drink from a water trough or clean bowl, so have plenty on hand. They also need hay or grass, so keep this roughage available at all times
