[QUOTE="denvermartinfarms, post: 998835, member: 16167"] I feed alot of baby calves and lose very few, i will give you some idea's and hope some of them help. First if you buy baby calves you need to bottle feed them 60 days atleast before weaning, get them on a good calf starter grain at about 1 week, don't be afraid to use some of the better antibiotics like baytril if they do get sick, Don't keep more than one calf in a pen together, if any way posible buy all your calves at the same time that way you don't buy a few get them going good and then bring more sickness home to them, have a tube feeder around and learn how to use it, keep electrolites on hand, blackleg them at about 2 months then do it again 2 weeks later, band or cut, and deworm with a oral or injectable dewormer. This is a start, there are alot more thing you should know, but this is more than i knew when i started. [/QUOTE]
