[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 551330, member: 5559"] keren, that post was VERY informative! I did not know all that! Im curious, you say the calfs pick up the microbes that will live in their rumen from adult cattle..what if said calf is not around adult cattle(in the case of a bottle calf)? What type of effects will this have on the bottle calf? To gg- I ended up handfeeding alot of the feed my bottle calf ate, Id let her start to suck on my fingers and Id kind of work some feed into her mouth. afew days of this and then she was actually going to the feed pan and licking around in it herself. Shes getting over being sick, so has been set back abit regarding solid feed, but this method worked really well for us. [/QUOTE]
