[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1796048, member: 25884"] Another thing... if the calf is completely off milk, trying to get it to take milk again will screw up her digestive tract. Once the abomasum (milk stomach so to speak) starts to shrink as the calf eats solid food, it no longer produces all the enzymes that cause the milk to be digested... you can cause more problems by trying to force the calf to take milk at that point. BTDT.... and as I said, the pictures show me a calf that is stunted and is way past the milk stage... [/QUOTE]
