[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1782140, member: 39792"] You all have been spot on!! I talked with my vet and we had set up for me to bring him to them this evening. Well went out to the barn to milk out mama and take him to be tubed. Guess who was trying to nurse?? And yes he’s a bull calf. It’s like he’s lazy. He was searching around all over mama for a place to eat and just couldn’t figure it out. I stepped in and got that teat right in his mouth! He isn’t super vigorous about nursing but he nursed a good 10 minutes! Now he’s showing some spunk. I think the little guy finally got hungry enough! He’s a super chill calf but like you all have said, the bull calves can be like that. I had 2 heifer calves born back in Oct and wayyy different. Also this cow is very short so I think he was having a hard time finding the teats so low. [/QUOTE]
