[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 704479, member: 5106"] I have to agree with Angie. Bottle feeding is an effort and time consuming. You can't just give them a bottle twice a day and leave them on pasture and expect them to gain the same as their contemporaries. (not that this is what you did, I am replying to S&W post) I think the only way you could even get close to being as good as mom with just milk and grass is if you had a free range milk bar set up and the calf could come drink as much as it wanted anytime it wanted and use real milk that is high in protein and fat. Knersie how do you know that maybe the calf just isn't as good genetically as the one raised by mom, maybe that is all you could get out of that calf even if it was raised by mom. Still a nice calf and will taste really good too. [/QUOTE]
