[QUOTE="Penkert4, post: 1055283, member: 21171"] Rego: The one that was so sick is gone, and the third calf has been doing better- drinking more, still scouring but we're getting 2 bottles of milk and almost 2 bottles of electrolytes in him each day. Hopefully that is enough... My dad used to be a CNA, so we're really careful about cross-contamination and we make sure we wash everything out really well, and usually my mom and I feed one while by dad and sister feed the other. We will leave the calf in the pen it's in now instead of moving it to the shed where the other 2 have died, just in case. Chippie: Yes, they're bull calves. We raised 3 about a year or two ago (2 bulls, 1 heifer) and my dad said he would rather have bulls than heifers, just because they get bigger and have more meat (we're only raising them for the beef). We have noticed that- his stomach (between the end of his rib cage and his hips, not sure if that is technically called his stomach, but it works for me) gets a little sunken between feeding a and fills back out after he has had a bottle.
