[QUOTE="jgn, post: 39231, member: 128"] I had a heifer last year that her mom died when she was 2 months old. I put her in a fenced lot with another calf that was being fed out for the freezer. She took to the feed right off and other than hay and grass this is all she got. She was turned back out into the pasture with the rest of the herd and has done very well. I'd get her into a pen with another calf as it will want to be with others and try to get her started on grain as soon as possible. It may be a little hesitant at first to eat it but after a few bites should take it right up. If it keeps acting as if somethings wrong I'd get it to the vet to be checked out. Wouldn't wait long as it may not seem too bad one day and be dead the next. [/QUOTE]
