[QUOTE="dun, post: 74131, member: 34"] He mother had allowed herself to be nursed dry a couple of weeks before calving. When she did calve she didn;t have much of any cholstorum plus she had severe edema in her udder so opnly had a very limited amount of milk. We cleared up the edema by the fourth day and the calf went on from there. A couple of years ago we had a calf who'se mother didn;t have squat for milk till the second day. He never caught up, but none of her subsequent calves grew worth didly squat either. We had another last year that was born soething like 17 days early. She grew well but she only weighed around 40 lbs at birth. She was alwasy lagging behind in growth compared to all of the others but for starting at that kind of a deficit she didn;t do too bad. But at the backgrounder she only averaged 1.9 ADG while the other heifers averages 2.6. Calves before the last few years it would have been eyeball estimation (SWAG) since we didn;t weight them and sold everything at weaning at the sale barn. dun [/QUOTE]
