- What you need to know to bottle feed a baby cow! I'll show you everything, from how to mix Milk Replacer, to preventing Scours with Apple Cider Vinegar! We are currently raising two holstein calves! If you are thinking about raising a bottle calf or you just want to see some really cute baby cows, this video is for you!
If you know of an organic milk replacer, please let me know!!!
MILK REPLACER(if you can't get whole milk, straight from a cow)- I will NOT be purchasing the one in this video again, so I this link is for a different option. I have not had much luck finding an organic milk replacer, so I may just try using whole milk(I'll keep you updated)

I did one egg and one tablespoon apple cider vinegar every feeding on two calves and it cleared up in three days. I was also giving one quart of electrolyte midday.
We added apple cider vinegar to our calves feedings and it worked right away. They are much more energetic and their poops have improved. Thanks for the great advice.
Always hold your bottles at the mother's height, it will help keep milk from entering the lungs. Nice video ☺️
Boy! Just reading the comments a person can pick up some good information. Great job!
Thank you for this video. I am bottle feeding 3 right now and having a tough time with the scours
I have raised a number on our homestead and do not use the medicated milk replacer. The apple cider vinegar is new, usually at signs of anything I give them some electrolytes. But I do give my chickens the vinegar so I am sure it helps.
Heard milk should be at least 110 degrees. That helps prevent scours. Bigger calf at 2 weeks should get more than 4 pints. Closer to 6. I like product Clf Shield helps with ROG. Vinegar good tip.
Those were 2 Quart bottles (4 pints) that they were getting twice a day. You can also add a quart midday for an bigger calf.
My babies are the same size as yours and just came down with scouers .... I’m going to try the apple cider at their breakfast! Thank you!
We used bottle holders which were great to keep you from the bucking as they sick from the bottle
Drop an egg in each bottle and blow that protein level up some and the whites will give them needed fats to hold over to the next feeding, whole bottles are hard on the stomachs bc most calves only get less then a cup at one feeding on their momma, I give half in the morning with egg and ACV and a half in the evening and a half at night which is a few hrs later.
Brilliant 👏. It helped a lot
Cute video but I just use hot tap water instead of the stove😊
Using the tap water from out of the water heater is not good, as there are unwanted chemicals that can leach into the water. Not for drinking.
Hot tap water comes out of the water heater that can be contaminated with metals and chemicals from the inner tank.
@@carrier7399 lucky I’m giving twice to a calf and not my children
What if we give them the apple cider Vinegar only in a 10ml syringe ?
This was excellent
Thank you for this great informative video
Very well laid out I farm at a bit larger scale and I'm skip generation and I have three little baby's right now and the ones just runny still and my pills that I have from the vet aren't working but I remember great grandma telling me about apple cider vinegar and a couple other older gentleman so they all will get some apple cider for a few days I only have one with it but never can be too safe with them cuties.
Apple cider vinegar or a raw egg has worked beautifully for us!
Give them calf starter for better growth.
my calf is one days old how much milk should i give to him tell me
Thanks so much for the information I have 2 new calfs about 4 days old.
Nice content.from 🇵🇰
We have two calves about 2 weeks. Thanks for suggesting Apple cider vinegar I will try that. I am wondering what you wash the bottles with. Do you use dish soap or an antibacterial soap? Also where did you get that brush?
So beautiful
Nice
Do you do the less than 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar for each feeding? (ex. Morning and at night)
do 1 tablespoon at eah bottle morning and night
Nice video
Nobody on a ranch has this kind of time. Mix hot water and powder in a bottle and shake then go feed. 🙂
question, we have a 2 week old baby we have had to tube feed she refuses a bottle and only sips a little out of a bucket not near enough so we continue to tube her, any tips etc?? I may try the ACV, we usually use Kiefer, in the drench and does good for getting their belly better. Any ideas would be great!!!
How much do you feed them a day
I'm a farmer you should get a be them a gallon each a day or two of those bottles!
A 2 quart bottle in the morning, and a 2 quart bottle in the late afternoon/evening!
@@bittersweetfarms6222 im a farmer to. Last year I fed 4 pints at 6 in the morning and 4 pints at 6 at night. This year I am doing 3 pints at 7 in the morning then at noon I give them two pints then at 7 I give them three pints. It is supposed to be better on their. So I'm just kind of doing an experiment.
@@bridgerbingham yes mine have cleared up with this cider vinegar and they are doing well this will be a permanent use on my farm for now on and I hope to start pail training soon to a bucket.
@@bittersweetfarms6222 oh my gosh I love when they're on bucket eating it makes it so much easier. I just watched this video tonight I'm definitely going to use the vinegar in the morning.
Don't you think it would be better if you feed Vinegar speratly?
Yuck, they probably wouldn't like that!
Um u know U can just use warm water right I don’t have to heat and mix …..:
You bet. We do hot water right out of the tap. We calve in winter so by the time it gets to the barn it has cooled off some.
@@whiteface5055 Not good, as the water heater tank leaches out unwanted metals, etc. into your water. Not for drinking!
@@carrier7399 I will agree with you there. I never really thought about the hot water heater. I know I wouldn't drink it. Good point.
I want to calf in pakistan
Feeding twice a day should be fine
