[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1759356, member: 24027"] It could be a "dummy calf" and even at 4 days old, might benefit from the Madigan Squeeze (and there are lots of videos online). Check its mouth to make sure it doesn't have a cleft palate. Try a goat nipple. Get mama in the chute to make sure she doesn't have mastitis. If it won't suck at all, continue to drench or it will starve. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.drovers.com/news/industry/give-weak-calves-boost-big-squeeze[/URL] [/QUOTE]
