[QUOTE="angie1, post: 981576, member: 3886"] For what its worth, I haven't had bottle calves in too long, but I kept my babies in the cow/calf herd once they had survived quarantine. It was so much healthier for them than being penned, it kept me from having to construct another penned area and it gave them a chance to learn cow/calf social behaviors and whatever else they learn from each other. I just saw it as a win/win situation. I would bring their bottles to the pasture and call just like you did. I never had a cow hurt one of my bottle calves ~ not to say that it could not happen, but they are just as likely to hurt a herd calf. I never saw my bottle babies attempting to steal milk from a cow. Maybe having only had the bottle they didn't consider the cow as a source of milk, I don't know. I know if dun has a bottle calf he has done the same thing. [/QUOTE]
