[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11854"] I got to thinking...the dairies I have seen from the road while traveling are mostly Holstein. And, at every lot there seems to be many little "huts" for calves. Since I'm not a dairy person (and don't drink milk either), it occurred to me that if a new calf is nursing its Dam, then she wouldn't be producing milk to sell...right? And, since dairy cows need a decent temperament for human handling in the milking process, I suppose a bottle, etc., fed VERY young calf would condition it for future milking activities. If this is true, just seems like a LOT of work to get a new heifer calf "grown up" to self-feeding age and for future milking. Thanks for listening!
