Raising calves can be a difficult effort but are a good way of earning some pocket money. For the first 10 weeks calves need to be fed milk. Along the way they will need to be inteoduced to some sort of food such as pellets of calf meal at approx 3 weeks. In the first week and a half of the calf life they are prone to getting scours or just a bug in their belly. After 5 weeks of age for calves they will need to start being introduced to grass or Hay or pellets. This will allow the rumen to open all parts of the stomach so they can be weaned and be healthy.if the calves are bull calves and are going to be steers you will need to put a ring on theirs testicles. Dont do this until the calves are strong. At the age of ten to twelve weeks calves will need to start to be weaned off milk. At the same time will need to be 5in 1 vaccine. At this point the calves will need a paddock allocated for them that is the right size to cater for them. Raising calves can be difficult to raise but if done right it is done easily. Goodluck
