[QUOTE="cowsrus, post: 500489, member: 6485"] We have had some that absolutely would not take a bottle or bucket and we had to tube feed. This was on newborns that had lost their mamas.I don't like to do this but sometimes its necessary. Calves that have had their colstrum from their mamas are different story, they can usually be coaxed by the methods listed above by other posters. If ( big if) I ever decide to take a few babies to raise i'm going to get me a good nurse cow and let her do the work. She's a lot better equipped than I am. [/QUOTE]
