[QUOTE="jt, post: 39192, member: 238"] sorry, i should have given more info, but was in a hurry to get off to church.. the cow did not die. she was perfectly healthy.. this was a pair i recently bought, so i do not know about colostrum etc, but i do not think that is the problem.. the cow turned out to be too roudy for my operation.. she was a big framed charlois cow and when penned up in the coral, she went bonkers. bent my coral in at least 3 places trying to get away or get me and broke a sucker rod smooth into in another place.. her disposition was much too rough for me. so i loaded her up and hauled her away.. her calf was not able to be loaded at the time, and i was not about to keep the cow any longer.. so.. i have a 200-250# calf to keep alive. didnt figure that to be a problem. however, she seems to be slipping away. have you had any success in getting a calf that large to suck a bottle. she is not eating very well, so i am just trying at this point to keep her strength up. i would have to put her in the head gate to even attempt giving a bottle to her. i do not have any store bought electrolytes, is there something i can substitute? thanks jt [/QUOTE]
