[QUOTE="dun, post: 465733, member: 34"] The Lil Orphan Annie we had a couple of years ago we sold to the vet. His daughter showed her in the bucket calf class and now she's doing a bangup job raising her own heifer calf. Now to the question. We turn the bottle calves out with the rest of the calves and the cow herd. Once they catch on to the fact that you're the source of the good groceries she'll come running anytime she sees you. The hard part is when you quit feeding the bottle. We've had some that learned to come into a small catch pen when we brought out grain but it got to be a real challenge trying to keep the other calves out. If for some reason the cows won;t let her hang around and spend the sleeping time with them, bring her in for the evening bottle and give her her grain then in the morning give her the bottle and grain before you turn her out with the others. Bottle calves are such a pain in the butt that's why we sell them as young as possible. [/QUOTE]
