    bottle fed calf won't eat hay, need suggestions!

    Our bottle fed calf will not eat hay, he will eat grass but where he is at the grass is eaten down. I have tried putting some of his food under the hay, he just tips the bowl over to get to the food. I have cut back on grain, he has hay all the time in the rack (at his level). Any suggestions...

    first timers

    Hi, We have two heifers that were with a bull, for 2 months. We have not had them checked by a vet, but from the size we think they are pregnant. We noticed yesterday that one of our heifer's teats are becoming longer, more noticable, so this confirms my guess of pregnancy. Right? Can...
