    Good cow went dry

    You sure she is only 8 ? I’ve seen it happen more with older cows 10+ . Nutrition would be one possible, age , and some type health issue .

    Large Animal Vets are gone

    Good luck ! We’ve been dealing with this for years . So discouraging. My vet still does a rare farm call but most of the time I have to load on the trailer and take them to him .

    Bad luck keeps on coming

    Mrs Gizmom can hook you up with a bull . They are in the process of moving so it may be a few days before she can but you can count on her !

    The only issue is the design of the lid and nipple there is always some milk left . Nipple screws off for cleaning.

    Goat Milk Replacer for a Calf???

    Ok to feed till calf starts sounding like a goat , stop immediately. 😁 I’d think it would be fine . You could mix with calf milk replacer . I wouldn’t waste it !

    Bottle feeding : how much

    Yep , I started this one out on too much cause she was acting starved . 2nd or 3rd day she refused the bottle . So I cut her way back . You learn from your mistakes and pray it doesn’t cost you a calf . Doing good now !
