[The Moonshiner]

Here they have a rack thing that you just go down dropping bottles in and watch that they're all eating.

So you'd have to stand there the whole time and watch to male sure nobody kicks anyone else off?

Conan! We need to go teach the flatlanders how to dairy.

They're not on top of each other and usually wouldn't leave their bottle to go harness someone else.
I think we're good here. Milk crates are for putting milk in not calves.

Reminds me of those milking dummy things for lambs.

Yeah you have money coming out your ears to buy them a shelter each too.... what's wrong with a paddock?

I mentioned what's wrong with it. Makes it harder to know exactly who's getting what and if they're getting enough.

We used to give each calf their own mother's milk too for the first few days. Hard to do that if you toss them all in a pen together. Assuming you have the barn space to do that to begin with. They get tossed into a pen together once they're weaned.

But I don't get exactly why you need to know if they have had 500ml or 600ml ?????


Yes thats metric and yes I made those amounts up as a example

It's not about the 100mls. It's about more easily monitoring them when they are fresh and new.
