[QUOTE="paigep, post: 1384892, member: 26584"] thank you for all the replies! i'll try to answer everything... yes this is my first calf to try and raise, they really did t tell me much about him other than the cow prolapsed but he was on her for 2 days. i have no clue what breed or cross, and they bottlefed him and i just took the same bag of the milk replacer they were feeding. also there has been no blood in his stool at all. it's just a weird grey chalky color like was said in an above post. i have read the post about bottle feeding for newbies. i use the calf pail and i hang it up on the fence for him to drink out of, im going to lower it down and see if that might stop the cough? the milk replacer i have says medicated milk and soy, but it also says 20% protein and 20% fat? if i need a new milk replacer could someone advise a good brand? he will eat grass, won't touch the hay, and i've kind of gotten him nibbling on some sweet feed.
