If you have experience with bottle feeding a dairy calf, you probably have all the knowledge needed for this beef calf.
you will need to get the proper formula, bottle(s) and nipples. The calf should have gotten his colostrum in the first few feedings.
If you don't know and can't find out about if it was feeding from the mother then it would not hurt to get a colostrum formula and feed it for a week.
Just like Dairy calves, this one will need feedings every few hours and plenty of fresh water available.
