[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1639423, member: 14175"] My sons 4H market steer was a bottle calf. He looks good now but sure wan’t profitable. As for the calves already behind in growth, it may be best to cut your losses now. I have a “runt”, dam was old and didn’t provided enough milk for him to grow well. At around 8-9 months old I penned him with the 4H steer and fed him twice a day for 2-3 months. He still looked like crap, he just wouldn’t grow. One day he got out with the other cows and I just left him there. He’s not worth the feed. [/QUOTE]
