[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1667739, member: 5381"] Give the calf a bottle and see if its hungry. I had a weak calf earlier this year that was slow getting up. I didn't see it nurse when I stood it up. It would stand by mom but acted like it didn't know where the teat was. I gave it a half a bottle twice daily for a couple days. It had a good sucking reflex. On day three the calf didn't seem to want it anymore. On day four mama let me know in a rude way that my service was no longer needed. That calf is now doing okay but appears to be a poor doer. Growing slow. [/QUOTE]
