[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 736993, member: 5478"] The calf needs to eat, the other cows are not likely to let it suck. Put it on the bottle. What we do is feed it what it wants twice a day (just like mama does) and keep some calf starter and hay in front of it. We don't wean for 12 weeks but make sure it's eating hay before weaning no matter when you do it. Usually we'll start cutting down on the bottle feeding amount around 10 weeks so they will start eating more hay/calf starter. You will find many different opinions on this, but that is what we do and it works well for us. [/QUOTE]
