[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 809326, member: 1258"] Good luck on the grafting. Make sure if you are buying a calf off your ranch it is healthy. Go to someone who vaccinates and has a good herd health program. I'm always scared to bring in scours or something worse. One that has drank from a cow is good. One of the only times we grafted was when we had a heifer lose her calf and we got a dairy steer from down the road. Let him in with her and she tried to push him away, he kept going. She turned and tried to run, he pursued her. She tried to jump out of the corral, he saw that as an opportunity to get in there and eat. That cow had no hope, she had to give in. If all calves were like that grafting would be so muc easier. [/QUOTE]
