[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1086915, member: 9267"] Liz: read Ken's reply in the other thread, carefully. Before passing judgment on that heifer. tncattle - sounds like you're doing fine as said above. Just thinking - if your kids want a pet bottle calf they'll probably still want one next week, next month, next year - till they get one and learn for themselves how much work they are. I'd give into that demand sooner rather than later, with one of your own orphans (not a bought calf). And make them do all the work. And insist that they make that calf look as good as momma could. And yes, it'll cost you - milk and feed doesn't come cheap unless it's a scrawny potbelly weaner you want. Liz can tell you how to raise those sort. [/QUOTE]
