[QUOTE="PLR, post: 39252, member: 540"] Two years ago I had a cow get Grass teteny and die. She had a one month old bull calf at the time. We tried to get him to take a bottle but he refused so We tubed him with milk replacer once. After that we tried something the local ranchers never would have thought would work: I mixed the milk replacer powder with Molasses water until it was the consistancy of thin pudding and poured it on the Calf starter grain and mixed it. He absolutely loved the stuff!! He may not have gotten as much from the milk replacer because it was digested in his rumen but he is now just over two years old and about 1700 pounds. He also sires calves that are built like bricks and even the heifers fill out like show steers on grass!! I hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck. Shelby [/QUOTE]
