[QUOTE="IGotMyWings, post: 574360, member: 8639"] As promised, I have pics of my two calves. Lucky (named by the guy we got him from because he is lucky to be alive--mother got down in the last big snow storm we had here, and by the time they got to her, she could no longer stand so the calf was sectioned out and she was put down) is my Red Angus bull. He was born the last week of February. [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/Luck1.jpg[/img] The little black and white fella is Harold...there used to be a restaurant here called Harold's Steer Inn, and since he's either going in the freezer here or being sold to go in someone elses freezer, my cruel sense of humor decided to name him after the joint. [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/Har1.jpg[/img] We got the bull when he was about 3 weeks old and already being bottle fed. We continued feeding the same replacer that the seller had been using. The steer was also about 3 weeks old, and the place that we got him had him in a very small pen, he was very skinny, he was a bucket calf, but the milk they had out for him was full of flies, and his pan of calf starter was moldy. He was spindly and had a snotty nose. We shot him with penicillin and started giving him the bottle. After a few days of bottle feeding him, we set out some starter, and it wasn't long before he had no interest in the bottle. [/QUOTE]
