I thought if you go to one of those, Animal Barn stores, you can buy one of those, baby calf's bottles, to hand feed them with.. But, I think you have to milk another cow, if his mom died, and feed it, from another cows milk... It shouldn't be, cold milk, from the market, because a mother's milk, is body temperature, and so's a cows.. So, you'd need to get the milk, right away, from the mother, or another mother cow,to feed the calf, with.. Good-Luck, I'm just going on "Common Sense", here.. I'm guessing, so maybe, if you could call one of those barn stores, and ask them, you might get some better imput, thats more useful then mine.. Smile, and have fun, with your little newborn calf!!
