[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 601771, member: 8677"] That female has some potential. Being a bottle calf can make alot of difference in an animal. My son took a bottle calf to the fair one year that just did fantastic on the bottle. She looked almost as nice as our calves on their dams. But I had 5 et bull calves born last fall and weighed them this fall as yearlings. One of the calves wasn't taken by its recipient dam and was raised on the bottle. It weighed nearly 40% less than the average of the other 4. Genetically, where does it stand? Some calves just don't take to the bottle as well as others. You may not know what that bull calf is capable of genetically unless you decide to use him and find out. [/QUOTE]
