Often times calves are pulled from momma once the colostrum is consumed, especially in dairies&#8230; and rather than using the hand held bottles to feed each calf, milk bars were created to feed many calves at once.  I decided to share the wonders of milk bars tonight because we import these items from New Zealand (no, we could not find a USA made milk bar) and the prices are due to go up&#8230;  apparently because of a weakening US dollar. If you have any interest in purchasing a milk bar for your calves, lambs or goats&#8230; now would be a good time before prices increase!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-tWhouL6AHbE\/TwZXfQe3qQI\/AAAAAAAAAWY\/o0TECpyv-7Y\/s1600\/milk%2Bbar%2B5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-tWhouL6AHbE\/TwZXfQe3qQI\/AAAAAAAAAWY\/o0TECpyv-7Y\/s320\/milk%2Bbar%2B5.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-TUBdDq3rhu4\/TwpRkDahx0I\/AAAAAAAAAXA\/iczMKufIQbY\/s1600\/goatMB.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-TUBdDq3rhu4\/TwpRkDahx0I\/AAAAAAAAAXA\/iczMKufIQbY\/s320\/goatMB.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-3ZXIkmtSneo\/TwpRa8qT4KI\/AAAAAAAAAW0\/Z8uVOW6RBPE\/s1600\/bigPinkMB.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-3ZXIkmtSneo\/TwpRa8qT4KI\/AAAAAAAAAW0\/Z8uVOW6RBPE\/s320\/bigPinkMB.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-C9aU-0FlSvs\/TwZXteOQcNI\/AAAAAAAAAWk\/wmPX1NJY3G4\/s1600\/milkbar%2B10%2Bone%2Bunit.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-C9aU-0FlSvs\/TwZXteOQcNI\/AAAAAAAAAWk\/wmPX1NJY3G4\/s320\/milkbar%2B10%2Bone%2Bunit.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milking bars are one of those inventions that really make a difference for dairy farmers &#8211; both big operations or just a couple of cows.
