Welp, Pardon my ignorance but in a few weeks i plan on buying either some Bred Cows or Heifers from a guy down the road for a late christmas present for my dad, but he only has experience with steers. and i didnt want to sound like an idiot in front of the guy so i just shook my head when he asked if i had any questions. But i do got some questions so ill ask here
The cows are Holsteins and 1 baby calve wont be able to consume the amount of milk the cow will produce, Will the excess in the bags hurt the cow? and what do i do if it is a problem, since milking isnt an option for him nor i.
Vaccinations, are they needed? if so what kind? and should i give them to both the Cow and the Calve when it pops out?
How do you get a Cow to accept an Orphan calf?
Few nooby questions. but any help is thankful
