[QUOTE="Rookie, post: 175351, member: 817"] I do holstein bottle babies and they be alot of fun and very educational. I be keepin mine in a fairly small pen with shelter for 6-8 weeks and then they be ready ta be weaned. There be no set rule on how big the pen should be. Ya be wantin ta get some scour tablets from ya vet and keep em on hand. If ya calf be with scours ya pretty much just force those tablets down his throat with ya finger. They be big tablets.Also get ya some Corid if ya can find it and put a dash in every bottle ya calf drinks. Take the bottle away when empty or the calf will surely destroy it while ya gone. :lol: Be warned ; you gonna become mamma ta the little guy and it may not be as easy as ya might think ta haul him off ta the slaughterhouse when the time comes. Maybe I just be softer in that respect that most. Best I can do is take em ta the sale barn and trade one in for a beef breed ta feed out for myself. Good luck. george [/QUOTE]
