[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 930135, member: 18682"] Regolith, not sure what you are refering to, what is "shoof"?? I have seen lamb nipples with valves with them, but never calf nipples with valves over here. Concerning your calf, Beckykrise, watch her body condition to see if she is getting enough to eat. If she will eat some hay, a very small amount might help with her digestion by providing a bit of roughage, and help her stomach to develope, but she still primarily needs her milk for all the goodies that are in it to help her grow. Also, are you feeding milk or milk replacer?? There may be a milk replacer that is real good out there, but from the calves we have raised, in general they just do not do as good on milk replacer as on real milk. They survive on replacer, but do not thrive. I have seen calves and lambs do fine on real milk and bloat up on replacer. Hope this helps. Nite Hawk [/QUOTE]
