Overrun with beasties
Very adorable!daisychick said: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.
