[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 166733, member: 852"] Run a search for bottle calves...that'll give you some info for starters. Make sure you have any drugs you might need on-hand before getting the calf. The way animals are, they'll show up with scours on Friday night before a holiday weekend, and you won't be able to get in touch with a vet until Tuesday. Can you talk the fellow you're getting the calf from into keeping it an extra day or so? It would probably make you a lot more comfortable having a slightly older animal. At that stage, even days make a difference --- and besides, a three-day old calf should know how to drink from a bottle much better than a day-old calf. Would make it a lot easier on you. Keep the calf warm, sheltered, and dry...and things should be fine. :) [/QUOTE]
