[QUOTE="Linda, post: 20750, member: 50"] Is the calf with the mother? If so, could it be nursing and you haven't seen it nurse? If not, it may be too weak to nurse from the bottle and will need to continue to be tubed twice a day until it gets its strength up. This could be from several days to a week or two. Usually it's only a few days. If the heifer had a difficult birth or the calf was a large one, that's hard on the calf and it sometimes takes them a few days to get going. I realize it's the heifer who is giving you trouble, but sometimes the calf is having problems and it just isn't noticed. [/QUOTE]
