[QUOTE="ffamom, post: 960303, member: 1882"] I read MM bottle baby section. Short version of a long story. Neighbor saw a our dead cow with after birth beside her. No calf. No idea how long the cow has been dead. She was on her side, so he might have milked her out. Looked for calf for 1.5 days and finally joined up with heard. 2 of the cows calved the day before were show animals, so we tied them and allowed the calf to nurse. Orphan calf drained them both. He is around 90 lbs. My question: We gave him 4 pints and he still acts like he is starving. Do we give him more or make him wait until the next feeding? Should be try to find the IV stuff since we don't know if he got the 1st milk? Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
