[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1849368, member: 40587"] I dunno where I got October from...Gail will calve between Thanksgiving and 1st of December. I pulled that Fleck/Braun calf off of her yesterday morning. Called the lady that has our two Jersey heifers, and asked her if she'd like for us to feed one of those two bottle calves she bought. She said that would be great...she is getting 2 more this week from the dairy, so that helps her too. So Scott and Zeke went and got one yesterday, and took it over to the Kudzu place to try and find Gail. She was still hanging around inside the arena finishing up the peanut hay we put in there Saturday. Scott said when they set the calf down, Gail just came over to it, sniffed it, then nudged it toward her back end, and it started nursing. If it was always this easy, I wouldn't mind so much being in the business of raising these bottle calves. We will wean this one off her in September. Gail is 6, maybe closer to 7 now. Whitey is 8, the Guerns x Herford is 5, and those two 1/2 Jerseys are 30-36 mos old. I will have to look back to see for sure. Reckon how long Gail will be able to keep doing this? [/QUOTE]
