My turn to ask a question....
I have a heifer that lost her calf 2 days ago (looked like it got stepped on by the feeder before we got to it). I was originally going to write it off as a learning lesson except she is trying to claim any other calf as it is born, and I hate to not teach her to raise her own.
So.... How old of a "bottle calf" have you guys had success grafting to a cow.
Mind you this will not be a pasture deal as I have a barn, pen, chute, drugs, etc... at my disposal...
Just trying to decide what age calf to limit to (was originally thinking under a week) as I search for a good "step child"...
Thanks for your time
