The narrator remembers the day she sneaked off with her sister to the "magic pond" to go fishing, but instead found a Bog Baby, which they tried to keep in a bucket, feeding him cake crumbs.
The calves were bucket fed 2 or 4 L of WM twice daily at 0700 and 1600 h.
They were bucket fed with fresh milk twice daily.
Most of the herds (77%) used bucket feeding of milk.
For calves moved from an individual pen to a group pen with bucket feeding of milk, the median age at transfer was 4 weeks (CR: 1 6).
Fifteen percent of the herds used group pens with bucket feeding, 13% used group pens with automatic milk feeding, only 3 herds (0.3%) used calf hutches, and the remainder used other systems.
During this period, the calves were bucket fed 3 l of whole milk in the morning (0800, except on the day of sampling when calves were feed at 0700) and 3 l in the afternoon (1400).
Calves were housed in groups of five and bucket fed with a milk replacer for 10 weeks; the diet was then gradually modified with the addition of a concentrated feed (composed by milk serum and fat) and with the introduction of a fibrous quota (a mixture of cereals in form of flakes).
This example only has two bucket feeds; however, horses should ideally be fed twice a day.
