[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 270937, member: 1509"] I would definitely keep feeding him too. Another option would be to find a sweet ol' dairy cow that has nothing else to do but feed him for you. I know around here we have some smaller dairy farmers, especially the organic ones that have plenty of milk. They feed milk to their weanlings/yearlings too. They tend to be very good at grafting even with an older calf like this. A really nice guy might even let you borrow one. I know my neighbor would. Just a thought you might want to look into. Might also look into picking one up that is being culled, (depening on why) as long as she will feed your calf for a couple of months. Good luck to you. Bottle calves are always an adventure.
