Thanks Hillsdown....I cleaned his rear, looks a lot better. He actually got up and tried to butt me. First time he has been up by himself today..

I/ve been posting on the calving thread but maybe I need to be here....have a sick calf...have had to tube for 2 days to feed, gave colostrum and a bag of electrolytes for the scours, temp was low...used blankets and heat lamp to get it back up. Went out a few minutes ago to check on it...

Baby calf was up this morning, actually looked a little better, still won't suck, doesn't seem to have the will or power. Temp this morning was 99. Vet is gone for the long holiday weekend so that is not an option. I am warming him with warmed blankets....sure hoping we don't have to come in...

I fed 350 gms aout 11 am.

I have no idea on breed or age for that matter. At our sale, you get what you get if you don't go down and ask questions. and bless my husband..he is a city boy married to the rancher's daughter. So, he buys what he "likes" and brings it home to me. the one that is not eating looks a little...

I have searched to find my answers before posting but have not had luck yet. My husband bought two bottle calfs on Wednesday. first one is 95# and doing well. Number 2 is about 65 pounds. He was up wednesday night, took his bottle with much coaxing but took 3 pints. Thursday morning...

Okay, momma always saod there was no stupid question except the one you kept wondering about and wouldn't ask, so here goes... :oops: We have 2 calves, purchased the first one as a bottle baby and the other one weaned. They have grown well with no problems. Both weigh around 350-400 pounds...

We are actually in the market for a couple of friends for him right now. But until then, he bonds with the dog. They lay side by side with a fence between them. It's pretty funny, the dog is about as big as the calf.

I have 3 Buff Orph girls (had 5 til the puppies found out they don't fly well) and 9 Rhode Island Reds....My RIR are too young to lay yet but should be starting in a month or so. My big girls give me 3 eggs a day most days....I love my chickens! :lol:

He is great. First day jitters, wasn't sure about the bottle but he now meets us at the gate. He takes 3 bottles a day. I have some grain out too but so far, no interest. He does like grazing in the lot and eating his hay bed though. My 16 year old daughter likes feeding him. She calls it...

Sent the husband to the sale barn the last week to get me a heifer calf...he came home with this 90# bull calf...a bottle baby.... The 4 year old grandson named him Odis after the bull on the movie "barnyard". I am not really even sure what breed he is...he looks red/brown here but he is...

Seriously, thanks for all the advice. I realized that I would get varied opinions and that is great. Now, I can try some different things to see what works. I do have a couple of guys who have come over and helped with her. They are both long time horse guys so I value their opinions. Both...

Hi everyone, I have been lurking here quite a bit lately and decided tonite to go ahead and take the plunge and register. Alot of the problems I was searching for have been answered already! But here's the deal...we recently acquired a 7 year old Palomino mare who had a 7 month stud colt still...
