You can use a 2 quart bottle or a nipple bucket just which ever you like best, be sure to keep it clean. If there is a dairy supply store near you they should have a good milk replacer, should be around 22% protein or a feed store may have milk replacer. Should feed replacer at the rate of 2 quarts twice as day mixed as the directions say. Feed the replacer until your calf is eating a good 2 lbs of a starter feed a day. The starter should be around 22% also, and keep clean fresh water available at all times. Watch a the calf closly for scours, sulfer bolus`s work good for this. Good luck with your calf. Was in dairy business for 28 years and have raised 100`s but still don`t consider myself an expert.
