In Reply to: OT: 2 calf issues posted by tjdub on June 04, 2012 at 22:16:24:
I had a calf like your first one last year. He took too long to be born(hard pull) and he was "slow" from then on. I did exactly as you described...he eventually learned to nurse his mother, but it took about two months of me milking the cow and struggling with him to nurse at the same time. I thought about a bullet for him many times...but didn't. He eventually grew (some) and made it to weaning...but was considerably smaller than the others. INterexting side note was that he "adopted" me as his buddy. He tagged after me for the balance of the summer. I became attached to him.
If you have the patience, I'd put your two calves together and work with them both. THe healthy one will teach the slow one many things that will help you. If you don't have the patience, get them both gone.
