[QUOTE="Smithfarms954, post: 1609912, member: 39289"] I’m new to the board here also. I’ve raised a lot of bottle calves. Some success and some loss. It’s kind of like gambling. All depends on if the calf gets it’s colostrum from momma. From experience most sale barn calves do not. Best route is your local dairy barn. Raising bottle calves is a great way to get your feet wet into the business but don’t let it get you discouraged if things go wrong at times because like I said the bottle babies are a gamble. My advice for what it’s worth would be become great friends with your local vet and to buy a case of electrolytes for when one gets the scours. Keep an eye on them and there behavior as much as you possibly can. Good luck [/QUOTE]
