[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 120174, member: 1726"] Tim, much depends on what you get. If you get one that is tame you can feed him for a few days and then turn him out. If you get one that is not so tame then you may want to keep it penned until it calms down. Turning it out depends on the type fence you have. I have seen wilder calves go through a barbed wire fence like a deer. I would make sure it gets used to me before turning it out. That way it will come looking for the bucket. As far as weaning goes it will be basically done if you get it from a sale barn. It would have been off its mom for some period but doesn't mean it will be ready to eat grain. Keep hay, grain, water in front of it. No bottle feeding will be necessary. [/QUOTE]
