[QUOTE="cbattaglia38, post: 300311, member: 4177"] This is only the 2nd calf I have ever bottle raised, so I still consider myself inexperienced. I have a 4 day old bull calf who weighs 100lbs. He lost his mom to a prolapsed uterus. Vet come out and stated that she probably died from shock. This happened on Friday. I have had experience with prolapsed cow, however the first one I was able to save. Anyway calf was clean and according to the vet was able to get what he needed from his mom before she died. My question is: He took right to the bottle. I am feeding 4 pints in the morning and 4 pints at night. Should I be feeding more? He is still hungry after he finishes it and tries to suck on my clothes. I am feeding him Maxi-Calf milk replacer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
