[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1483767, member: 24816"] I agree, it's a good idea in theory, but not something I would attempt anymore. I used to raise baby calves on nurse cows, mostly dairy but a few beef x dairy too. Some did ok others were hard to deal with. One year when I had registered Charolais we had a calving disaster, and lost several calves, we tried to graft calves onto some of the cows so we wouldn't loose plum out on them for the year, and they were heavy milking cows. We were working with 4 or 5 at once and it was a chore even with them being very gentle cows. [/QUOTE]
