[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 581240, member: 2308"] A bottle calf can be as good as a calf raised by mama. As said, it is a lot of work, and expense to raise one right. You look to have done fairly well with that calf. He looks good, not pot bellied and stunted, and I wouldn't be surprised if he weighed more than you think. I have a (hopefully) bred heifer that I raised soley on the bottle last year. She weighed 450 lbs last fall at about 6 months, which is a bit lighter than the calves that were on the cow. But today she weighed 980 lbs, bigger than a number of the heifers that [i]were[/i] raised by the cow. She isn't our biggest heifer, but she has done well. I will try to get a pic of her tomorrow and post it. [/QUOTE]
