[QUOTE="highvoltagecattleco, post: 466272, member: 6225"] With my orphan calves. I keep and feed them by themselves for the first month. I do have a 3 year old daughter who will spend all day with the calves if we let her. So they aren't alone all the time. After a month I introduce them to the herd. Typically I have other small calves that eat in a crib. The orphan will eat grain and hay in the crib. I bring them in for their milk. By this time, they know who the feed source is. This makes weaning extremely easy. They just become part of the heard and lose their attachment to me. I don't mind bottle calves a bit. Its part of raising cattle. [/QUOTE]
