I am new to this calf thing. I have a 4 day old brown swiss bull calf. When do I disbud/dehorn? I have goats and I disbud at 3-7 days old. When do I casterate? I do goat kids at 6-8 weeks old using either banding or surgical. What method should be used for this calf? When and what do I use to vaccinate? I have CD/T that I give my goats but do I use that on my calf? I was told to protect him from clostridium will this vaccine work or do I need another? when do I vaccinate?
I am feeding him 2 1/2 qts is this ok? he seems hungry. They were doing 2 x a day and I want to do 3 x a day so how much each time? We are using nursing formula. But when my goats kid can we use goats milk in 4 weeks? feed same amount? dilute it?
Thanks for any help! Last time I did a calf it was raised on mom.
