That cow that had the twisted uterus just seems to not be putting out the milk for the calf.
I've been giving the calf 2 full bottles a day. She does go to the cow afterwards and tries each teat and butts the cow repeatedly.
hubby is not too crazy about the idea of a bottle calf, but I bumped up my Jerseys feed and she put out over 2.5 gallons of milk yesterday.
she's getting 4 scoops (an old Delmonty stew can) in the morning at milking and again at night when she is cut off from her calf.
So that is where we are getting the milk for the calf from.
I tried to get the calf to nurse the Jersey, but she won't.
Going to check the cow tonight to see if she is putting out any milk. She has gotten alot better and is eating like crazy.
