Alrighty..... I'm new to this whole forum thing but I guess I'll give it a shot. I am 15 years old from Iowa. I currently own 1/2 of a 5 cow angus herd which is about as much as I can support on pasture here. I would like to raise some Holstein bull calves this summer. I'd like to buy a group of 8-10 and bottle feed them for 40-45 days, then wean them onto calf starter for a few months. Whether I feed them out or sell them as feeders this fall will depend entirely on corn prices this fall. What kind of drugs do I need to give them? What should I keep on hand in case of emergency? What is everyone's experience with bottle calves? Any advice you can give me would be super. Thanks.
