Overrun with beasties
The horse trailer was full of hay and I didn't feel like unloading all of it, so our new calf rode home in the back seat. He kept licking my husband on the cheek during the drive home. 
He is a holstein bull calf from a local dairy. 2 weeks old and doing good so far. He drinks out of a bucket already. I am feeding him a mix of milk replacer and goat's milk, half and half mix. 2 quarts in the morning and 2 quarts in the evening. He has grass/alfalfa mix hay available at all times.
When do I start grain? Do I need to start grain? What kind? Is 2 quarts of milk twice a day the correct amount to feed him? It seems like such a little amount. Anything else I need to know? I used to help my dad raise bottle calves when I was little but this is my first time on my own.

I will go to TSC and see what my options are for calf starter.
Cutest little big thing I ever saw LOL plus I never thought I would actually see a Cow in a car, maybe a mini horse (which I have done) or a goat (which I have also done) but a cow? LOL Love it!
