[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 382456, member: 6007"] Personal experience - more than 75% of cows reject a twin. MOst folks with little twin experience do not know this and are surprized when it happens. Evap milk is good - do not mix it thin and calf needs volume as well - temporary fix only. Buy some good milk replacer and bottle feed / or give it away / sell it. Weak calves can and do make it without colostrum if fed quality replacer. Just follow the directions on the bag. Too weak to bother - then shoot it. All choices and decisions need to be made quickly. Do a search on these boards for new calf bottle baby weak calf and any other words you can think of. Good luck Bez> [/QUOTE]
