[QUOTE="IGotMyWings, post: 574142, member: 8639"] Well, that explains a few things! Having some cattle experience on my uncle's farm as a kid has given me some insight on how to raise my little herd, but we never had bottle or bucket calves, we had mostly feeders purchased from other farms and didn't have many calves of out of our heifers/cow My little red bull was just a few weeks old when I got him and was a bottle feeder. He took the bottle easilly and was actually hard to get started on "calf starter" and hay. He appears stunted to me, has a gut on him, but otherwise looks and acts healthy. I've asked around to others who have had bottle/bucket calves and they say that he's tubby, but the stunted part is to be expected and he'll be just fine, but a little smallish. I'll try to get a pic or two so that more informed minds can see what I'm looking at. [/QUOTE]
