Subject: Newborn calf



Silver Creek, NE

Checked cows yesterday and had our first cow calve. Think she had twins. She will only take one of them. Brought the other home and gave him colostrum via a tube. Tried to feed him a quart of milk last night and all he wants to do is push the nipple out with his tongue. Same thing this morning. Tired of trying so tubed him a quart..... My question is how do others get newborn calves to suck from a bottle when they haven't sucked from the mother first?
