[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 510317, member: 1863"] I've raised several Jersey bottle calves. Got them at 3 days old. They were on momma for 3 days to get the colostrum. I had very little health issues with an exception of the first one. Tried raising him in a barn till he got big enough to run with my beef cows. Big mistake. Barns are where the germs are. Wound up having to give him a shot of mycotil (dangerous stuff) to pull him through. Let the rest roam a 5 acre pasture and they did fine. Raised one good specimen up to a two year old and leased him out to some dairy farmers as a clean-up bull. Another mistake. He went from sweet, easy to handle bull to a snot slinging, hoof pawing injury waiting to happen. I got smart and took him to the dairy sale where he was snatched up by one of the farmers that leased him earlier. [/QUOTE]
