Calf Start 20/20

A nutritionally complete non-medicated milk replacer recommended for dairy and beef calves.

Mixing and Feeding Directions

Newborn calves should be given colostrum (cow’s first milk) as early as possible and continue for the first 24 to 48 hours of life.

Refer to the following guidelines for mixing and feeding instructions. Remember, each animal is different and the guidelines below may need to be adjusted for body size and condition. In general, large animals will need more than smaller animals. Consult with a qualified veterinarian regarding health concerns.

Mix 12 ounces of milk replacer powder (3 measures*) into 3 quarts of warm (110°F) water. Feed 2-3 quarts twice daily until weaning.

Mix 8 ounces of milk replacer powder (2 measures*) into 2 quarts of warm (110°F) water. Feed 2 quarts of this solution 2 times daily for the first week, then 3 quarts 2 times daily until weaning.

Provide a good quality texturized feed after 4 days of age. Hay should not be offered until calves are weaned.

Wean calves when they are consuming 1.5 pounds of starter feed per day for 3 consecutive days.

*The measuring cup provided in the bag holds approximately 4 ounces of milk replacer powder. For greater accuracy, a suitable scale is recommended.
