[QUOTE="TwoByrdsMG, post: 1570612, member: 37975"] Well I know it has been an extremely tough season worldwide for the agriculture/beef industry. These two were born during a horrible storm and for different reasons ended up being bottle calves. A 100+ lb silver bull (soon to be steer) who was born to a dam too small for the bull she was bred to. She caps out around 750-800 lbs and it took her 3 days to recover from the calf being pulled. They are the lucky ones. Both dam and calf are alive and recovering but it was too late to bond dam and calf so the bottle (and some tube feedings) are this bull's main source of food for the next 4-5 months. The dark heifer got chilled and her dam (who was a first time heifer) did not have enough milk for her. A tough decision but we always have to make these decisions for our cattle and hope that its the right one.
