[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1841015, member: 25884"] We just found a 2nd calf cow, with a 3 month calf... laying dead for no apparent reason at all, this past week. Got the calf in and it is up with my bottle calves... the oldest 2 in there are pushing 10-11 weeks and are on 1 bottle a day and eating good... this calf went right in the bunk with the bottle calves and is eating grain and hay along with them. It will do alot better with them than trying to steal off other cows... Have 6 that have been on bottles, all holsteins except the 1/2 angus/hol that was on the nurse cow that died back in Nov.... 2 younger sets of twins, smaller, but doing good. Looks like I am going to be raising more bottle calves for awhile... got a dairy that is situated further away from the stock yards and they want to work out a deal for me to just come get the bull calves at a pretty good price. Holstein feeders are bringing good prices... going to probably do some since they have a group of 20+ heifers due to calve in the next 8 weeks... Yep, you have live stock and some dead stock... and try to do the best you can. [/QUOTE]
