[QUOTE="R.T., post: 499857, member: 317"] Long ago I raised bottle calves. For the few that would not nurse the bottle. I would take two fingers dip in milk or molasses syrup and put the fingers into calf's mouth. When they got used to my fingers I would lower my fingers into milk bucket and they continued sucking. I had grown cows that would walk up to me and suck my fingers if I extended my hand to them. Strange but it works. R.T. [/QUOTE]
