[QUOTE="torogmc81, post: 1124562, member: 21164"] Yes they will all drink from it, but from experience, it's worth the extra dollars to get two balls, you'll be glad you have them. As for learning to drink from it. 1. find out how smart of cows/calves you have and just leave ball in there till they figure it out 2. BAll out day one, ball in day two, ball out day three, ball in day four. most will figure it out day two, whoever didn't figure it out day two will defintitley get the hang of it day four. Some are real jumpy with the ball pushing back at them if they've never seen a waterer like that before. Our farm record holder for quickest newborn calf to figure out Mirafount is this year, heifer calf at only 3.5 weeks old. I've seen others take at least two months. Usually the most docile ones that observe momma and apply the quickest. [/QUOTE]
