[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 157562, member: 539"] Another option for bottle calves is to check with feedlots. A lot of times they will buy a bunch of heifers - one or two of which is bred - and they don't want the calves. I've gotten several from local feedlots and they have done very well for me. If you choose to go this route, make sure the calf has had colostrum and also find out how long the heifer has been at the feedlot as the feed results in hot calves (which you do NOT want) if the heifer has been there very long. A sure sign of a hot calf is distinctive, sweet breath. [/QUOTE]
