[QUOTE="DavisBeefmasters, post: 499541, member: 2263"] Interesting "Train" -- I thought the sucking reflex was the only action (other than tubing) to close off the little flapper to get the colostrum (and then milk) into the true stomach for the calf to utilize all the nutrition most efficiently... I wonder what efficiency and nutrients are lost with pail training right off the bat? Perhaps it's just different strokes for different folks. We'll stick with the bottle and yep, rigging a little hanger that doesn't allow them to headbutt the bottle of the old wooden fence rail works just fine while I'm onto my other chores. [/QUOTE]
