[QUOTE="dun, post: 86320, member: 34"] From the dairys I've worked with the only one that has a high death rate among bull calves doesn't give them the first care that the heifers receive. They rarely lose a heifer but probably 50% of the bulls either die or just don;t thrive. Of the other dairys, the bulls do just as well as the heifers, but all calves are handled exactly the same. Sort of related, but a little different. There seem to be a lot of folks that post that don;t think bottle heifers will ever amount to much and have issues with their growth. If that was the case, how is that the dairys bottle/bucket raise large numbers of heifers each year that make succesfull/productive cows? dun [/QUOTE]
