My friend has a 2 week old Holstien bull she got from a dairy farm on sunday. he has been eating 2 quarts am and pm of milk replacer. the farmer told her NOT to feed more milk than that, as he would get scours. She has been trying to feed him some grain too, but he will not touch it. Any ideas...

my last heffer is probably going to go tonight......she is bedded down in deep straw, not hungry and antsy. Up down, up down. and her udder is FULL and she is stringing and just plain uncomfortable. here's hoping it's not a long night........or week, as her sister showed me with her calf. :(...
