[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 342296, member: 1258"] Unfortunately I have had orphans over the years. Believe me I do my best not to have them however. I keep hearing about the problems people have with bottle calves being unruly but I've only had one that was any kind of problem. The rest have been well behaved. From day one I treat them like a cow would. They behave poorly and get knocked hard. By the time they are a few months old they only need a threat to behave. I have found calves do better fed milk longer. I keep the heifers for replacements and had one of my girls bringing up an orphan for me a couple of years ago so she paid me back the extra expense. She also raised the largest heifer calf we had last year. What is necessary and what is best is not always the same. [/QUOTE]
