[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 416147, member: 3162"] This will sound cruel but if it were me, I'd get straddle his back, pull his neck up, stick the bottle in his mouth, squeeze his jaws, and he would either swallow or else choke on the milk replacer. In three days time he will be hunting that bottle. Use a bottle rack as soon as you can. Read what Alice wrote. That may work for you as well. I have never tubed a calf. I have never lost a bottle calf either. I have never lost a calf that I put on a nurse cow. This includes the calves I tended for daddy back when I was a kid. I force them to take the bottle. This year I only had 8 that were on my nurse cow. I don't deal with 100's of them like some folks do but I have probably dealt with something like 500 over the past three decades, more of them in the 70's than lately. [/QUOTE]
