There are 158 (mostly 2-pages long) resources on many, many calf management topics listed in alphabetical order by title. There is also a search box in upper right hand corner if you only know a topic. For example, the most cost effective way to clean nursing bottles and tube feeders.

Dr. Jim Quigley maintains a calf management library of 191 resources notes at www.calfnotes.com. He lists by topic (colostrum, weaning, calf starters) and has a search box to find notes by subject.

The University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine supports a dairy calf resource site that includes helpful checklists and observation forms.

Other sites? Usually ones from universities and www.extension.org are non-commercial and have reasonably unbiased reports. From United Kingdom, click HERE for another perspective on calf management.
