[QUOTE="dun, post: 279850, member: 34"] With proper nutrition there is no reason a bottle calf can't owrk out as a productive cow or bull. The operative word is [b]proper[/b]. Too many people wean a calf off the bottle at 8 weeks and either quit or decrease, or never increase their grain consumption. If a bottle calf couldn;t be made to become productive the dairys would be out of business since they wouldn;t have any replacements. It's not as easy as raising calves on a cow, but in some ways it falls into the same category as AI. If you don;t want to invest the time and management required, don;t do it. dun [/QUOTE]
