Problem: Article: Purchase one set of bottles and nipples per calf. Each calf should have at least one assigned set. Otherwise, you will need to go to the trouble of sterilizing the equipment between uses. The nipple of a bottle resembles the mother's teat, which should trigger the calf's natural instinct to suckle. Bottles and nipples can be purchased online or at major retail stores such as Tractor Supply Co. Similar to human babies and breastmilk, the newborn calf should be fed fed colostrum, or milk produced by the mother, for the first few days. This is because the colostrum contains antibodies that the calf needs to develop a strong immune system. If you purchased the calf, chances are it didn't receive that much needed colostrum. Replacement colostrum can be obtained in frozen form, from a dairy farm, or from one of your other cows who has just given birth. If you are thawing frozen colostrum, be very careful not to overheat it or you will destroy its antibodies. Use warm water, anything less than 120F or 50C and allow it to thaw. A microwave oven can also be used to thaw the milk without causing damage. Replacement colostrum should be given to the calf for about four days. Calves need milk for the first month or so of their lives. There are several different milk options. Cow's milk. If one of your cows gave birth recently, you can use their milk. Most cows produce enough milk to adequately care for their young. Replacement milk. If you're using replacement milk, always follow the directions on the package. The temperature should be high enough to allow the fats in the milk replacer to melt into liquid form. This will help the calf to better absorb it, while keeping the mix consistent. Milk replacer formula should not be too hot either. Goat's milk. If mother's milk isn't available or if milk replacement is too costly, consider goat's milk. It is easily digestible and may result in fewer cases of scours (a clinical sign associated with several diseases characterized by diarrhea) Young calves need routine, so feed them twice a day at the same times each day. Typically, the best feeding times for young calves are early morning and evening. Start slow with a half of a bottle at each feeding and gradually increase it to two full feedings. During the winter or other cold spells, you may need to increase the feedings to three times a day. The third feeding can take place mid-day.
Summary: Get calf bottles and nipples. Give them colostrum to start. Switch to milk. Create a feeding schedule.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Gracious people are always humble. They don't brag about how great they are or show off; instead, they act modest and wait for other people to note their achievements. They don't make a spectacle of themselves, they are in awe of how big and complicated the world is, and they don't march into a room like they own the place. If you want to be humble, then be happy to be who you are without showing off about it. Always give other people credit. If someone says you've done great work on a project, mention that you couldn't have done it without the help of your other co-workers. Treat other people with kindness and respect even if they don't always deserve it. Be punctual if you said you were going to be somewhere. Hold doors for people. Don't text your friends or look distracted when you're supposed to be giving another person your full attention. Make eye contact, don't curse, and treat people kindly regardless of their social status or their position within your social network or company. Treating people with respect means treating everyone the same, regardless of what you think they can do for you. Having tact means not saying anything that is offensive, off-color, or just plain weird. Tactful people think before they speak and they are discreet if they have to say something slightly uncomfortable like if they have to tell a person that he has something in his teeth. Be aware of what you say and also of how you say it you may mean well, but your comment may be taken the wrong way because of your tone or the words you used. Being tactful means not bringing up anything that can cause a stir. If you know you're hanging out with two people who have very opposite views on Obamacare, for example, then don't bring it up in their company. Generous people are able to give whether it's their time, their money, or their love and kindness. Be a person who is always looking for a way to help others, whether we're talking about your closest friends or perfect strangers who are in need. Cultivate a generous spirit that is always looking for ways to help other people and to improve and expand their lives. Being generous with your time is important. Sure, helping your friend clean her apartment will be a time suck, but she'll really appreciate all of the help since she's been so down in the dumps lately because of her break-up. Being generous also means recognizing opportunities when you can help out. Your sick friend may not say that he'd love it if you picked up chicken soup for lunch, but that doesn't mean he won't appreciate it. It's important to take a compliment the right way if you really want to be gracious. Thank people for their compliments, and show how much their words mean to you. You don't have to downplay it or make it sound like you don't deserve it; sounding overly-modest can get a little bit annoying. Instead, say something like, "Thank you so much for saying that. It means so much to me." If you can give a return compliment at the time, that would be great. For example, if someone says, "Thank you so much for helping me with my math homework," you can say, "It was my pleasure. And thank you for helping me with the English homework last week. That was so helpful." Gracious people know how to handle criticism whether it's constructive or not. If the criticism is constructive, then you have to be able to see the value from it, learn from it, and make a plan for growing or improving the qualities you were criticized for. And if the criticism was just meant to hurt you, then you can let it roll off your back and take the higher ground by not saying something negative about the person in return. A great deal about your character can be revealed depending on how you take criticism. If you immediately get angry and defensive then this shows that you are uncomfortable acknowledging your flaws. Furthermore, it just won't be very gracious. Gracious people act the way they do because they know how to count their blessings instead of focusing on the challenges they have to face. They know exactly what they have to be thankful for, whether it's their health, their friends, their family, and/or their opportunities, and they never forget any of those things for a second. If you want to be grateful, then you have to always know how much you have to be thankful for, no matter how upset or frustrated you may be feeling at any given moment. If you're really feeling out of your element or down in the dumps, it helps to write a gratitude list. This can include all of the things you're thankful for, and you can add to it whenever another thing occurs to you. Taking the time to read over the list and smile can make you feel more grateful no matter how bad your day was.
Summary:
Be humble. Be respectful. Be tactful. Be generous. Learn to take a compliment. Take criticism well. Be grateful.
