[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1742418, member: 16453"] Several years ago I lost a cow to botulism and her calf was only 5 weeks old. I put the calf straight onto a grain mix and he grew very well and developed into one of my best bull calves that year. He was pretty smart and went for the grain without hesitation so no lag period while he got the taste of it, I'm sure that helped. He never saw any milk replacer and I am sure he was not stealing milk as I had him out the back with another cow and her calf that was down in condition and I kept a close eye on them. Ken [/QUOTE]
