You will have to halter him and tie him up first (or her), get him used to being haltered and standing to be haltered. Then you can groom him. You should separate him from mom and do this, but only for a short time at a time. To train him to be shown as an unweaned calf you just need to separate him from mom for longer, but still allow him to go back with his dam when your finished "pampering" him.

Will a calf gain more weight from milk or grain?

This depends upon what stage of development the calf is in. A newborn calf, up to about 4 months of age, cannot digest grain and must be fed milk. After about 6 months of age, the calf is completely swapped over to grain and cannot digest milk. In between, the calf can utilize both.Answer 2:However, unlike what was mentioned above feeding grain to calves at that age is done not all that uncommonly, and it has been noted by researchers that feeding grain to a calf will help better develop its rumen than milk or grass can. A calf may not be able to digest grass or grain as well as an adult cow because of its underdeveloped rumen, but it doesn't stop it from eating it or even experimenting. There is much debate among producers as to whether creeping the calves over to grain while still on their dams is best or not. Many say it's worth it, others disagree. Most of those producers who raise their cattle on grass/hay only will not utilize grain to help fatten or increase the weight of unweaned calves, and simply rely on the ability of the cows' to increase the calf's weights, as well as genetics.But also as mentioned above, this really depends on the weight and age of the calf.
