[QUOTE="frenchie, post: 69823, member: 451"] Well I do hope things have worked out over night with the calf catching on. I have had good luck with vitamin B-1 injections to perk up a calf.It may take awhile for the soreness in the moms udder to subside .Keep giving him milk...Also..keep trying him on the heifer before each feeding..it works best for me if you let him get a little hungry.Alot of times I will tickle his tail as I ,m trying to get him latched on. One last thing....I have used bull rings in heifers or cows to prevent them from sucking....Other cows. That may not be an option with purebred stock.. Good luck [/QUOTE]
