Overall, if the calf is not removed away from her mother it might be a danger to her calf by the following;
● Could be stepped on and injured
● Not enough colostrum consumed
● Mother becomes anxious
● No immunity could lead to possible sickness if not monitored
Once a calf is on its own some important things to consider would be:
● Tags for their name and birth date
● Colostrum
● Have essential Vitamins/electrolytes handy
● Halter and rope
● Plan a disease-control program
● Give lots a love and make sure the calf is happy!!
