[QUOTE="dun, post: 20749, member: 34"] I wouldn't worry about electorpytes at this point. Restrain the heifer, tie her off short so she can't swing around too much. Pass a rope, 3/8-1/2 inch in diameter, around her over her back and just in front of her udder, cinch it up tight, very, very tight. The point is to apply pressure to her spinal nerves so she can't kick. Push the calf under her and get a teat in it's mouth. If the calf will suck but doesn't get enough to eat, you may be able to get the calf to nurse from a bottle if you stick it under the cows bottle and basicly turn it into a 5th teat. If that doesn't work, keep tubing it. dun [/QUOTE]
