[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 921184, member: 7541"] I am not entirely sure why to bother; however I will try to say something. First I assume you speak of a compromised immune system? Colostrum tends to be stronger the older the cow is, and the more she has been through. If a cow dies before the calf can be weaned it is possible to feed it milk, there is no "last moment" to bottle feed. the best for the calf is to be raised by its mother even for shorter time than other calves. It is not illegal to supplement the cow either, in fact that makes her hevier as a cull. If a cow with poor teeth dies, I strongly doubt it will die from dehydration. Water does not need to be chewed. :2cents: Sound advice! :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
