[QUOTE="Cheyenne, post: 137416, member: 1519"] I purchased two Holstein Freemartin calves in April for a 4-H project for my son. They were 64 lbs. and 54lbs. when purchased. I kept them on replacer and fed them by bottle for 4 months. Fed high quality replacer, calf starter and feed. They are now as tall as my charlois x bull who was born in March, and are around 450-500 lbs. each. Not a great rate of gain at around 2 lbs/day but they are good looking calves. Always get comments on them from people who saw them when I got them home. So I agree with good feed and TLC bottle calves can do very well. Good Luck to you. [/QUOTE]
