[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 66827, member: 220"] I know this is a bit late, but might be of some help. When getting a calf on the teat that's kind of lost in the instinct department (we call them "dummies" same as TxAg), if you also gently rub their bottom while they've got the teat in their mouth, it will sometimes help that "suck reflex" kick in. Warning: It will also encourage the "emptying bowels or taking a whiz reflex", so be prepared for a messy hand. Fortunately, it washes off with soap and water. Take care. [/QUOTE]
