[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1760085, member: 25884"] I like to have my calves, even those on beef cows, coming in the creep gate and putting their noses into the bunk. Bottle calves I try to get them eating some by 2 weeks. Brown swiss are also very difficult calves. The breed is known to have an actual syndrome that makes calves not want a bottle if they have sucked a cow. They are also picky..... I am thinking that your calf just didn't want the bottle that feeding. I would definitely keep on trying it and trying a little milk in a bucket might do it. [/QUOTE]
