30 years ago I worked on a dairy farm our in Western Oklahoma, heifers were out on the range until 2-3 months before they were due (you know how that works) ever tried running heifers straight off the range through a DeLaval double 6 herringbone parlor?

This is where I learned a very important fact about cows that was not part of the animal science curriculum of Michigan State University- BEEF CATTLE, EVEN 1/2 BEEF CATTLE ARE REALLY DUMB ABOUT BOTTLES AND BUCKETS. An all-dairy calf would be slopping up milk out of a bucket in 5 minutes tops, one of the half Brangus you might be 15-20 minutes a feeding for two or three feedings. The farmer I worked for was also a DVM and didn't believe in bottle feeding they came in from the dry cow lot or off the range straight to a gang style calf hutch and onto a bucket first day no exceptions.
