[QUOTE="Daisy452, post: 542098, member: 6572"] Ok Im wanting to raise a holstein bull calf for my fair next may, he will be entered under baby beef, or a veal calf. he will be 5 months old at the fair, and when i get him he is one day old. I want to hear what you guys feed and how much for how long? I have watched my friends raise them and i have a prettty good idea on how to raise them, but I want different opinions. Is goat milk better than replacement milk? What grains are better to feed? When do I introduce hay or grain? Do I wait to give the calf water until its five days old? What shots do they need? Over eating? B-12? Can I put mashed potatoes in the milk to fatten him faster? Is it alright if the calf is penned near or in with a goat? What is your suggestion on how many times a day to feed? Do you feed every 4 hours on the day olds? until they are a week old? Then down to three times a day then to two? HOw many bottles should I feed up too? They have to be on atleast one bottle at fair. So, weaning them is out of the question. Any advice is helpful. :cboy: :banana: :tiphat: :wave: [/QUOTE]
