[QUOTE="alabama, post: 234906, member: 2218"] I would not pull the calf from mom. You might milk the cow and bottle-feed the mother’s milk to the calf. If this is not possible, you can offer milk replacer. The calf will much prefer mother’s milk to milk replacer. I have put orphaned calves in with other cows and keep them on replacer till the learned to steel off of other cows then they don't want the replacer any more. I suspect in a week or two he will be 100% mother’s milk. Feeding a calf is a lot of work. [/QUOTE]
