[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1696669, member: 39373"] I'm sure many of you are following along. This newest "bottle calf" wont take a bottle. Drinks about half from a pail/bucket, only if he has nothing else. He nursed ONE TIME on Bessie and gave up on that idea too. I dyed her teats. Sorry. I should've taken pictures! Funny looking things anyway. Bessie is plenty willing. I even shoved him under there and tried manually putting a teat in his mouth to no avail! Crazy thing is... he eats grain and hay like no other orphan I've had. He weighed 105lbs when I bought him. I got to noticing his tail is quite long for his perceived age going by weight. And has quite the switch compared to my normal calves. I figured he ain't nursing so I turned Bessie back out and the Thing 1,2 and 3 drained her. Think he will make it on feed/hay and water? Other thoughts..... Bessies bag here Idk if you can see his tail in this pic or not [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210816_181549.jpg"]7283[/ATTACH] Here's an earlier pic with tail [ATTACH type="full"]7285[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
