[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1846571, member: 39373"] 2 weeks sure ain't premature in my book. I did have a dummy calf a couple years ago tho. I did same as u, except calf sucked a bottle of colostrum down. He just would not suck the cow and had given up. She had larger, shorter teats. He'd nose the teat right outta his way and couldn't get latched on. I caught the cow and put her in the chute next day. Helped him along and repeatedly had to put the teat in his mouth. He figured it out but it took a couple days. Cow was very easy going. After the first day I was able to help the calf get latched on with her standing at feed. [/QUOTE]
