[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 942146, member: 3162"] This thread is starting to remind me of the old addage of someone working themselves to death trying to get out of a little work. And my guess is a percentage of calves turn out doggied. I'll keep doing the old school methods and keep getting good results. In no way am I passionate about anything I have said in this thread as far as what is right or wrong. I am passionate about making a profit and conveying what works for me. Good experiences and bad ones. Some dairy folks get a calf that won't nurse and they just leave it be. I get a towel and rub the thing down as if I am simulating a cow bathing a calf. That stimulates the calf and they start nursing. I have force fed a few. I don't tube them. People will argue that part too. I am okay with all arguments. What works for me may not work for someone else. Let the debate continue. Advice is free. [/QUOTE]
