[QUOTE="Alice, post: 279443, member: 3873"] My Daddy had one of the finest holstein herds in the state...and that's not brag, just fact. Every single, solitary holstein heifer born on my Daddy's dairy, then used as a replacement was, of course, bottle fed. And, of course, the bull calves born were bottle fed. Some he kept, cut, and sold at the sale. Most were sold to people that knew the quality of cows that Daddy had. I do not remember there ever being more than a handful of calves, heifers or bulls, that did not grow and thrive, while I was feeding them, under Daddy's supervision, as a teenager. When I left the dairy, my aunt took over, and in the 15 years that she took care of those calves, and I mean meticulous care of those calves, according to her records, 5 live birth babies died...2 of them killed by dogs. Quality cows, quality care and proper AI selection goes a long way. Alice [/QUOTE]
