    Thinking of keeping milk to all calves for another while, calves outside only doing ok with the rough weather, and I'm afraid they'll melt if I stop now. Was thinking of giving them the rinse from the milkline and the first of milk at the beginning of milking mixed with some milk powder, don't want to be wasting anymore "good" cows milk. Can it be done?

    My uncle used blend milk/ powder/ water if he was switching over to or from whole milk to powder. So it can be done.
