He is however eating hay well (grass hay with a little alfalfa(, and eating small amount 1cup of manna and cob in the morning and some at night. he is ruminating already. I also give him Calf 180 in a bucket for vitamins. I have had him a week and he seems happy and healthy(now that he has gotten over the loss of his mom) and plays with a goat. He pees and poops normally. I am concerned he isnt getting enough good nutrition. I have never heard of one so young being so sturbborn to take milk!!! Any ideas or recommendations to keep him healthy and gaining would be appreciated. I have had horses and donkeys and goats but never a cow [url=https://postimg.org/image/bl7s8pmrr/][img]https://s15.postimg.org/bl7s8pmrr/IMG_0828.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
