Like others said use your legs around the neck like a head lock and they need to be hungry. It helps to back them into a corner, they're easier to hold that way. Hold the bottle with 1 hand, nipple in calfs mouth, squeeze the calfs mouth shut on nipple with other hand and if necessary use 2 fingers to pry open, squeeze shut, repeat, all while holding the bottle and calfs head up at about a 45 degree angle. Never try and feed a calf that is not standing. You will likely aspirate it
