Abstract
A calf feeder bottle for dispensing dry feed has an angled neck portion which is in alignment with a handle on the front of the bottle and a bracket on the rear of the bottle so that a nipple secured to the mouth of the bottle when the bottle is in an inverted dispensing position will be angled properly for dispensing feed to a calf. The nipple has a tubular spout with a flap valve therein with the mating surfaces of the flap valve aligned with the handle to facilitate opening of the flap valve when the tubular portion of the nipple is squeezed by a calf.
