[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13848"] Yes, it would be nice to have a mate for your calf, but everytime you introduce calves from different sources, you are mixing good and bad bugs. More than likely one or both will get sick. You have to weigh the risk. Many people will have a calf die during calving & run out and buy a holstein to put on the cow. Then they end up with their own calves getting sick and wonder why? Not knowing that this "healthy" calf introduced bugs that their herd was not immune to. You are only dealing with one other calf, so like I said, you have to decide. I deffinately would wait until this one was really on its feet.
