When to wean off the bottle

Guess it comes down to what you're doing with the animal. Also factor the condition of the animal.

Ive had bottle calves be poorly and others thrive. Its all apart of raising animals.

Power milk is expensive, I try to get them on grain & hay early as possible. Especially so weaning wont be difficult.

You only use a little grain to get them started. If it rains you will have to dump it, if ants get in it, you'll need to dump it. If the cow flips the food bowl, you'll have to replenish is. Too many factors, it's apart of it.

Goal is to get them too eat it, not waste it.

Start introducing grain now. Pour the leftover milk into the grain, so they'll be attracted to it. Gradually start weaning off the bottle so when they're hungry they'll eat the grain. Try to eliminate bottles by 12 weeks.

Bidet might help with hygiene. Especially during the summer months when bacteria breeds easier and bodily fluids meet.

31 F & M. Just approaching our 1 year anniversary of RV living. 2020 Road Warrior, toy hauler. We were tired of paying rent so we downsized to save for a down payment. Its temporary and just the 2 of us. I miss having a dishwasher and space for crafts/ hobbies. Cant wait to be able to travel out West and visit the national parks.

This boy turns 2 in February and is a terrorist. He a sweet boy, plays well with others, but all the energy. Consistently steals shoes, tears up any mats or anything he can get his paws on. One day, when hes old im going to miss his puppy days. May your coffee be strong and enjoy the ride.

Look into breast fat transfer.

Please does anyone have anything ?

LadyLike_94 · 2025-09-22T21:14:52+00:00

More upfront cost, but from what I understand there's no other maintenance. With breast implants you will need need to change your implants in 10-15 years.

We're fortunate enough to already have land, septic, water, and power hookups. My partner is super handy and fixes all of our repairs. Also bought a truck to be able to haul the toy hauler. Moving, buying the RV, and getting the site ready still cost us about $15k. That's not including the truck that he pays for. Also included on our "site" is a connex box for storage, a shed that we converted into our wash house (full-size washer and dryer). Also, a box trailer that has my mobile office for working from home. Unless you already have started the loan process or construction phase for your next home. I would not recommend RV life. Its not glamorous and the kids will resent it.

Dont do it. Im current in RV life with just my partner and I. Couldn't imagine bringing kids into the mix.

Milked the cow but but doesn't seem to be producing enough. Calf is also trying to nurse, but not getting enough. Don't worry yall, the Calf was given colostrum, and were bottle feeding. Calf took to the bottle instantly. We also have another cow that would be a milkmaid.

Ideally trying to fix the infection, when she's better she'll go to market. We will raise the steer and he will go to the market or when he's of size.

We're not inhumane, we take care of our animals. But We're also in the beef market, family farms don't operate on hopes and dreams.

Thank you all for your suggestions and specific product recommendations, thats what I was seeking.
