[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14095"] I had posted a question about this calf not wanting to take bottle when we got her at 10 days old, she is 6 wks now & doing fine. My question this time is, at only 6 wks, even though she is eating over 2 lbs of calf starter grain a day, should I keep giving her bottles or is she okay to wean. I thought I'd keep giving her bottles cause she doesn't seem to be putting on any weight. How long til she should be showing an increase in weight? Also, she is kept in a stall about 8'x20', I let her out one time and she walked right through a five strand fence, I let kids tie her out on rope about 15' long everyday so they can clean stall and groom her and such, but does she need to be in bigger pen so she can get some excercise or for any other reasons?
