[QUOTE="memanpa, post: 122011, member: 1334"] went down to the corrals this morning to feed and a hiefer gave me a gift a few minutes before i got there, a little bull calf, she was cleaning him very attentive figured him to be less than an hour old so i fiigured there should be no problems, fed her, fed the others and went to an auction, got home about 7 hrs later went to check things out, calf was up but every time he tried to nurse she would kick him away! calf seemed a little weak, so i got her into the chute, managed to get a little over a pint of milk into a bottle and fed the calf, then got him to nurse a little! she was not happy with me hand milking her, my question is was i too late to get the colsterum into him? probabally a total of about 8-9 hrs after birth. i am not 100% sure he hadn't nursed but i would rather err on the side of precaution. after i turned her loose she did let him nurse a little, and he seemed to be a little less shakey! opinions?
