[QUOTE="dun, post: 42266, member: 34"] If he's sucking the other calfs ears it isn't a muscular problem. It's being a turkey butt problem, he can - he just doesn't wanna. Some calves just don't get used to the rubber. You might try a lamb (ugh) nipple. They're smaller and different shaped, also generally a softer consistance. If he'll suck your fingers, you might try the gradual lowering of them into a bucvket of milk. Calves kike that just frustrate the snot out of me, then one day they act like they've been doing it right all along. I see this a lot at some of the dairys, but they bottle/bucket feed everything. Just depends on the particular preference of the dairy. dun [/QUOTE]
