The Bottle Feeding Helper

Bottle Feeding Helper

Feeding calves is rewarding, but when you're bottle feeding multiple hungry mouths at once, it can quickly become a full-time job.

At one point, I was feeding eight calves at the same time, and what should have been a simple chore was turning into a lengthy process every day. I desperately needed to be an octopus—but since that wasn't an option, I started designing a better solution.

The idea began while thinking about ways to improve my original calf mineral feeder. I wanted something that could securely hold bottles, free up my hands, and make feeding multiple calves much easier. While I knew it would be a large print and use a fair amount of material, I also knew the time savings would be worth it.

That's how the Bottle Feeding Helper was born.

Over time, it has gone through several improvements and upgrades. It worked great from the start, but after a few rainy days I discovered it could collect water, so I added a built-in drain hole to solve that problem. After a few more refinements, it's now exactly how I wanted it.

Today, I'm down to four calves in the pen, but we still use three of these feeders regularly. The calves have learned the routine so well that they often walk right up to their feeders and wait for me to place the bottles in them. These feeders have been an incredible time saver and have made feeding much more efficient.
