[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 22388"] Well said, but calves can handle not getting colostrum in them for the first while without any setbacks. We had a cow have twins about a month ago. She only accepted one of them and I didn't find the second calf until it was about 30 hours old and it still hadn't nursed. It could run and acted just like any other calf, but after a while its legs got a little wobbly. Took it to the house and have it on a bottle with the holstein bull calves we raise. Growing just fine now. Overall though, the sooner they get colostrum in their bellies the better. [/QUOTE]
