  • This video is about how to get a calf trained to bottle feed! This job is not always as easy as you would think! Colostrum is the most important thing in the life of a newborn calf!

    That sure went smooth. So is the calf going to be raised on a bottle and not going to be nursing some on the cow?

      Yes it’ll be on the bottle until weaned. My youngest has already taken over the task of bottle feeding her so it’s settled 😂🤣😂

    Rusty was wondering why you were bottlefeeding the calf instead of him. I love seeing old Rusty! He's the poster child for pet adoption and rehoming!

    My calving season starts in a month. I hope the weather is nice or I'll be standing on my head more than I want to, feeding calves. Will your calf nurse on its mother or are you just bottle feeding to get it started?
    Best wishes

  • @KateA231
    @KateA231 3 місяці тому +1

    Do you bottle feed her to get her used to being handled? I’m trying to figure out how to handle a new heifer but also calf share… I don’t know if that’s possible. I’ve only had bull calves so far in my dairy adventures.

    • @McGieHomesteadAdventures
      @McGieHomesteadAdventures  3 місяці тому

      Yes it really helps to bottle feed them…. Touch them every day for two years if possible and get them used to coming in to where she will eventually be milked every day and feed her touching her legs and bag…… pat her and touch her everywhere

  • @reavisstockard5339

    • @McGieHomesteadAdventures
      @McGieHomesteadAdventures  3 роки тому +3

      Because the mother kicked her away..... and also because it’s better for us since we will also be drinking the milk.
