2 Quart Calf Bottle Holder

Bottle feeding a calf, lamb or kid takes both hands at first, and the bottle needs a hand the whole time it is in the animal's mouth. This wire holder takes that job off you. Set it on a 2-by-wide board, drop in a 2-quart nursing bottle and step away to handle the next chore while the feeding goes on.

It snaps onto the board without tools, so you can move it from pen to pen or from stall to stall. The metal is sturdy, the corners are rounded for safety, and the coating helps prevent rust in a barn that sees weather and water. It fits the Little Giant 2-quart Screw-On and Snap-On Nursing Bottles, item numbers 9812 and 9312, which are sold separately.

Why a bottle holder saves your time

Young livestock nurse hard, and a bottle that tips or slips wastes feed and a lot of your time. A holder keeps the bottle where the animal can reach it, so you can check water, mix the next feed or see to the pen next door. With one animal on a bottle, it turns a feeding you'd have to stand over into a job you can keep an eye on from across the barn.

It suits a family beef or dairy operation with a few bottle babies, a 4-H kid feeding a calf in the backyard, or a farm with a goat or lamb nursery in spring. Anywhere the work needs one hand free, the holder earns its place.

How to use it

1. Snap the holder onto a 2-by-wide board without tools, at a height that suits the animal you are feeding.
2. Place a Little Giant 2-quart Screw-On or Snap-On Nursing Bottle in the holder. The bottle is sold separately.
3. Fill the bottle, let the animal nurse, and step away to handle your chores while it feeds.
4. Rinse and clean the bottle and holder after each feeding so the next one starts fresh.

Good to know

• Keep a second bottle in the rotation so one is always clean and ready.
• Pair the holder with a feeding pail and a bottle brush from the same aisle.
• Hang the holder dry between feedings, so the rust-preventive coating has less work to do.
• Check the board for splits every season, since the holder needs a firm board to stay put.
