[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8116"] I am a new hobby farmer and I recently purchased a 1 1/2 month calf. She was taken away from her mom 2 days before I received her. I am trying to give her milk replacement but she doesn't seem to be drinking much. I use my finger to get her tongue working and am trying to get her to drink out of the pail. She is eating hay, grass and grain pellets. I think she is drinking alittle water, but it doen't seem like much. How do I know if she is receiving enough nutition. Also, she has a wheeze, the fellow that sold her to me said there is grain stuck in her throat and that it will clear as she gets older. She isn't in any pain and she will cough and be okay for awhile. Any and all advice will be helpful. <br> <br><hr size=7 width=75%><p> [email=donrobyn@mb.sympatico.com]donrobyn@mb.sympatico.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
