[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 51558, member: 587"] A friend had a calf born yesterday, called and said it hasn't nursed yet and is about 24 hours old. I'm not sure how he can be sure that it hasn't since I doubt if he stayed up all night with it, but maybe her teats don't show signs of it. He has had the calf up, and gave it a shot of B12? said it was very small. That is not unusual as her first two calves were 65 and 55 pounds, and her own BW was 58. The cow came down with apparent fescue poisoning two or three weeks ago, and they got her through that with the appropriate medicines. She didn't make much of a bag up until a couple days ago. Does the fescue poisoning have anything to do with this scenario he now faces? At this point, he has gone to Atwoods to get colostrum replacer and milk replacer to try bottle-feeding the calf. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
