[QUOTE="samm, post: 503187, member: 141"] for the babies that just dont quite get it for the first couple of times,i set on a dirtbike stand that my son made, or a 5 gallon bucket, i put the calf in a kinda head lock with my left arm on my left side and poke my fingers of my left hand inbetween his jaws to open em up, and give the bottle to them, very few times have i had to do much more than that to get them to nurse, we did have one that had what i call the dummy tongue, he would stick it out and fight the bottle, we tubed him for the better part of a week, then one day my husband tried him and he sucked that bottle like he had been doing it forever. some just need a little guidance to the bottle, and take to it like a duck in water....its after they eat the botttle and they still want more, and they root and butt ya and suck your shirts, jackets....maybe even wipe thier butts on ya....but its all good, wouldnt have it anyother way.. :nod: samm [/QUOTE]
