[QUOTE="Dubcharo, post: 1647401, member: 19407"] We have a bull calf born october 7, the due date was november 26 (AI). So it's near 50 days early. There was a twin female that the cow get out when she deliver. The calf took 2 days before standing alone and sucking but he's not sucking by himself still. We give him milk each 6 hours in small quantity, milk from the cow (8 years old). I was told by a vet that a calf who is premature of 40 days have more chance at survival than a 20 days premature calf, a lung thing I don't know exactly why. I have hope that he will survive, each day he's improving, Weight him today at 40 pounds. Saw some survived in the pass. [/QUOTE]
