[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 42332"] A method that sometimes works is to straddle the calf, hold it's neck between your legs. You can control the head better and there is not as much of a fight. Stick the nipple in their mouth from a back corner making sure you have the tongue depressed. Once the bottle is in the right position take one hand and cover the calf's nostrils fairly firmly until the little darling gives sucking a try. This seems to stimulate the sucking reflex along with the breathing reflex. Doubt I describled the method here very well but this does work if you can figure out what I am trying to say. [/QUOTE]
