[QUOTE="JRM, post: 507012, member: 3282"] Had a cow calf out this weekend and the cow did not make. Had to pull calf. Calf was able to nurse one time from mother. I went and got some Colostrum from feed store and gave it to the calf. I been feeding 3 times a day, it been a long long time since I had to bottle feed one and forgot how often I should feed. I can keep up feeding 3 times but if twice is ok that sure be better. Calf seems to be doing good, His leg was hurt pulling him, but had no choice as mother decided to calf on a pond dam and in a bunch of treees. I was afraid time I got every thing right to pull calf he would not have made it. I going to try to get him to start eating some milk replacer type grain in a few days. I was hoping he could steal a little milk from some other mothers, but do not think he has been able to. Is feeding 3 times best or will twice do? also any other suggestions welcomed Thanks [/QUOTE]
