[QUOTE="ctlbaron, post: 97655, member: 1774"] The cow might take him, but I'd bottle feed him to make sure he got what he needed. We usually split the difference in the six to eight week bottle plan by reducing them to one bottle a day at six weeks. You will see the calf starter intake increase dramaticly in the first week of one bottle a day. We also let them out on pasture a few hours a day at six weeks to get them aclamated to the grass. They won't grass scour as bad when you start them out slow. We have good pasture with a lot of clover and they love to pig out on it. They can squirt through a screen door if they get too much. He should be fine. [/QUOTE]
