[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 5508854, member: 1048"] A few points: 1: Why did you buy more batch's from this dealer after the hassle with the first batches and his/ her refusal to help you?? 2 : You NEED to fed the calves the same night they arrive on farm, not leave them until the next morning as some of them will not have had any milk since Thurs afternoon/ eve and not feeding them again until Sat Morn is just asking for trouble let alone a welfare issue. 3 : You say heifer nuts? so is that the big nuts or a proper calf starter pellet? ( which is a smaller pellet unlike normal Heifer sized pellets ) 4 : You are weaning them off too young and that will be adding to their stress, would be better weaned around 10/12 weeks old.
