Aluminium milk bucket

A bucket is convenient for encouraging calves to consume calf starter (a dry feed, which can be put in the bucket as a calf finishes the milk replacer). The easiest way to teach your calf to consume milk or milk replacer is to take advantage of the calf'sinstincts.

The choice between bottle or bucket feeding new dairy calves is often determined by farm management practices…because, when it comes to calf performance, neither stands out.
