[QUOTE="Alice, post: 343830, member: 3873"] Ok, when you brought the calf in it was 4-5 weeks old. That means she was what, almost 2 months old when she died, is that correct? She scoured a week ago while she was eating dry calf feed and hay as well as the milk replacer, correct? Had the calf been on it's mother before it became orphaned? If so, how in the world did you get it to drink milk? Out of a bottle, or a bucket? And, what kind of milk replacer was it? What I'm getting at in this round about, dumb way...I've never had a calf scour at that age, especially if it was eating dry calf feed and hay. What kind of hay was it? Grassy type coastal bermuda hay or alfalfa hay? All of the multitude of bottle babies that we've raised here came from the sale barn...a lousy start for any of them to begin with. Only one or 2 of them, at that age, showed signs of being chronic bloaters. Let's go back to the hay...what kind was it... The calf you found dead in the hay, how old was it? Was it an orphan? I'm kind of confused here. Sorry... Alice [/QUOTE]
