Little Giant 3 Quart nursing bottle w/ screw-on nipple (9313)

Details

A 3-quart nursing bottle in FDA-compliant food-grade polyethylene, translucent enough to read the level as the animal drinks. The body is 4.1 inches square and 14 inches high, and the top is threaded for a screw-on nipple cap. The nipple is one inch across and three inches long, in a rubber formula chosen for pliability and longer life. The square body is not styling. It is what seats the bottle properly in a Little Giant wire bottle holder instead of letting it roll, and it is easier to keep hold of in a mitt than a round bottle. Translucent walls let you see how much a calf has actually taken, which is real information when you are watching a slow starter. Screw-on is the choice for anyone who has had a nipple come off mid-feed. The nipple flange is captured by a threaded cap that turns down onto the bottle neck, so a hard-pulling calf is not going to strip it off. It is a three-piece system, so the nipple and the cap are both stocked separately for when the rubber finally goes soft. Wash it out after every feed, because milk residue in a warm barn is how scours travel.
