I’d tube it some colostrum and see what mama does. Maybe take it a half a bottle every morning after and see what’s happens. I wouldn’t bottle feed it until it starts to decline. No replacement for a mama.
Another option would be to pen mama up with calf and feed her until calf is a month old. Cotton seed can make for some really rich milk.
