[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1415889, member: 19683"] We always watch our calves. Our previous bull's calves tend to be more dumb. Many of them start nursing only after3 days and that's with our help everyday. Usually put cow in the pen with a calf and almost always can help to nurse: milk their dam and feed the bottle to the calf or move the calf to the dam and try to put teat into its mouth. If cow isn't cooperative we tie her with the rope and if that doesn't help, just feed other cows milk for some time still moving the calf to his dam's udder everyday. They start nursing after a few days. Had one calf which started nursing after one week. Milked her dam and fed all milk to the calf for the whole time. Also we give a shot of vitamins and selenium just in case. [/QUOTE]
