[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1754578, member: 42463"] You've gotten some good advice so far from others... but my concern is with the lack of colostrum. I'm a big believer in a calf getting their first milk from Momma. What about getting the cow in a headgate, or even better a squeeze? Get a rope on her front and back and stretch her out? Milk the cow and if you get too much for the calf's first meal you can always refrigerate it. I would freeze some whenever I had a chance to milk a fresh cow. If the calf has been removed for a week it may be too late, but I doubt it. A quart of colostrum may be something that would help. [/QUOTE]
