[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 580887, member: 2308"] To get her on calf starter, after you bottle feed her, put a handful in her mouth. She should almost suck it out of your hand. After a few days she should start nibbling it on her own. You could put her back out in the pasture, but you will need to continue feeding her. And giving her calf starter if you want her to keep growing. A month old is pretty young to just kick her out. They are just developing their rumen at this time and cannot really digest grass and hay well enough to get much food value out of it. [/QUOTE]
