What happens whan a calf doesn't get enough colostrum. will they eat less. cause i had a calf and the mother didnt have any milk so we have to bottle feed it and it drank 4 pints of the bagged colostrum and since them he wont drink any milk replacer. we have to force it down him so what should i do?

We gave him some regular milk and that helped he was able to stand. then tomorrow we will see if mother has any milk and let him nurse if not we r buying colostrum and milk replacer.
Thanks everyone
if you dont have any milk replacer will it be okay until morning and then you can get some stuff then or is absolutly essential it gets it within 12 hours
I had a calf today and the mother doesnt have any milk and the calf wont stnd so my question is does a calf have to get milk from its mother before you can give it milk replacer?
