Last week we had a cow with another set of twins. She was taking care of both so J left them both with her. One was quite a bit smaller than the other so yesterday J brought it home for a bottle calf.
A feed sack is a perfect carrier.
Cut a hold in the bottom, put the calf's head through, then tie up the end.
And there you have a calf about the size of a 50 pound sack of feed.
The other bottle calf has been moved to a bigger room in the barn and this one will now hang out in the dog pen for a bit. He has already taken to the bottle. So now we have 2 spring bottle calves that have been weaned and are on grain, and two fall bottle calves. The barn and lots are filling up.

Smart solution (reuse of the feedsack).
Do you have a self feeding setup for the bottle calves (like you do for the bottle goats)?
