while i hated it as a tiny boy, i did learn that their life depended on me feeding them, and even when the little knot heads would head butt me getting to the bottle, there is something greatly full filling in bottle feeding a calf. it can teach a kid to not be so damn selfish and self serving

I’ve bottle fed a bunch of calves over the years, and I actually enjoy it. I have 3 calves on my place right now that were orphans, and I hand raised them.
I gave the last one a bottle until she was 9 months old. It was just a bottle of water, but she didn’t care.

Some ranchers look for a family that want to raise a bottle calf until weaning age and then its returned to the herd. Rancher makes a deal on fresh beef when 1 goes to the processor.

Is this more on the lines of what you were thinking?

Bottle calves are fed twice a day every where I know of, including Braum's dairy.

no sir. i can raise orphans and always have or transplanted them to another cow. just considering selling any orphans outright so i don't have to mess with them.

".......thanks guys i will keep you posted as things progress. like i said any calves would be angus not dairy... i usually keep orphans and just feed them until weaning put them on grass and sell them with their brothers and sisters or for butcher."
