[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 651594, member: 5106"] Well I got him to drink 2 pints again this morning but it was a battle , and not nearly enough, . He starts drinking and then he tastes it and blah..It is really good replacer 202020 all milk and very expensive he should be grateful that he is getting the good stuff at $120.00 a 25 kg bag... :shock: I moved him to the my pole barn because we are expecting snow again and he did get a little chilled last night..I wish I could just let him run around with the other calves and cows but I would never be able to catch the little turkey again unless he was on deaths door. If I knew that he would just become a sneaky snacker and fend for himself that would be fine with me but I do not think he will as he always stuck very close to mom.. I will keep trying, he is getting the good calf starter the dairy rations 18% protein the expensive stuff and the tasty stuff..I feel so sorry for him though because he has to be locked up and he bawls constantly..I may take him out ( he has a pretty fuschia halter that he can wear) and tie him to a long lead so he can be with everyone for a while, of course I will have to stay close by so he doesn't go nuts and accidentally strangle himself.. :roll: What is the youngest that you guys have successfully weened a calf in this situation ?
