[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 52406, member: 9"] Ok...probably shoot myself in the foot over this one...lol. Other than Dairy calves, why do people BUY a baby calf to bottle feed? To me, it would be a tremendous amount of watchfulness, work, and hassle. I can understand, however, that if a mama cow rejected a calf and there was no surrogate cow to nurse it, that bottle feeding would be about the only option. I can also understand that if someone GAVE you a baby calf that had been orphaned, then bottle feeding would be a viable solution. Yet, I continually read about people ELECTING to get baby calves to bottle feed. Guess they have more hours in a day than I do and still have a "mothering instinct" to fulfill... 8) Or, is it because one can buy a baby to bottle feed for next to nothing $$$. [/QUOTE]
