Protection from drafts and dampness is essential, navels must be iodine-disinfected, and colostrum milk is vital for disease protection and vitamin A.

Calf Feeding Guide From Mr Morris Advice

Calves should get whole milk in normal amounts for at least two weeks, preferably 3 to 4 weeks. Hunger helps teaching a calf to drink, delay first feeding 10 to 12 hours after separation from dam. sterilize feeding pails and feed sparingly to avoid overfeeding early on.
