[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 313374, member: 430"] What ever works for you Jeanne - does NOT work for everyone. I can't afford for a cow to not raise a calf every year. It is not that much trouble to graft a calf. It should take no longer then 1 hr max in the morning and 1 hr max in the afternoon for no longer then 5-7 days max. I've grafted more calves to 1st time heifers then cows. If I buy one from the auction it gets shots when it gets home and is isolated with it's "new mother" for several weeks so they 'know' each other well before they are turned out to pasture. It there's any illness it is treated. Now if you have a closed herd it's a different story but it's no different then buying cows from the sale or any other privaty treaty deal. It only takes about 30 mins morning and evening to bottle feed a calf for +\- 8 weeks. [/QUOTE]
