[QUOTE="cornstalk, post: 220565, member: 911"] Thanks for the replies... Probably end up completely weaning him. If we happen to have a cow lose a calf, I would probably graft him over, but more than likely going to get weaned early. Plan on getting him going on the bottle, and slowly working him over to pellets / cracked corn / forage. Are they ever too young to start on a grain / roughage diet.....is there a milk/grain "line" so to speak? Hate to wean one this early,...quite a bit of extra work for one calf....but mom was on borrowed time. She came down with pneumonia early last winter.....didnt get her treated in time, hit her with Draxxin and she came out of it, but must have done some lung damage. (Rapid breathing, fowl smelling breath) Planned on calving her out, and shipping her. I'd already kept her 5 weeks past calving... for the calf's sake. [/QUOTE]
