[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1086743, member: 378"] X2, make the kids commit to feeding him if you keep him. The will argue as to who gets to feed him for about three days then argue about who has to feed him, but they make a commitment, as stated a great life lesson. I've only raised one bottle calf, but fed plenty of bottle calves on the dairy. It's not that bad if you have a bottle hanger that can be secured (I used a bungy strap). Milk replacer isn't or wasn't too bad, I believe you want medicated, it's been a while for me, but if you do a search some great info on bottle feeding here. Let then make the kids feed the calf, you may want to give them a carrot, like half the sale proceeds or something. :2cents: feed the calf. [/QUOTE]
