[QUOTE="Dyann, post: 29121, member: 30"] How old is the calf? I had a similar situation, the calf was 4 weeks old. We check the herd everyday and found the mama dead. We took her for an autospy (she was young) and brought her calf up to a pen. We talked to the vet about the calf as well. Per his advice, we kept her in the pen, where she would not have to fight for food and fed her dairy quality hay and calf starter. She did great. I guess the one difference, is that our calf was brought up here day 1 and was not behind the 8-ball so to speak. The previous poster had some good suggestions too. Once you get this calf back to good health, you may want to try this. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
