She is acting fine. I am sure it was a natural birth since we were on vacation and came home and found her. I have her in a pen right now. We have never had a mother to reject her baby before.

Last night it wouldn't take the bottle and then again today it still hasn't had anything to eat. The mom has had nothing to do with this calf at all. ever. Worried about it not taking the bottle now.

my opinion, and not to be mean at all about it..........veal the calf.. sell all the cattle you have until you can figure it out. :cboy:
