[QUOTE="Crowderfarms, post: 86957, member: 1335"] Not to sound pesimistic, but It's been our experience that the Non-Suckers stay Non Suckers. The tube feeding can get old real quick.How old is the calf? We tubed one for 5 weeks believe it or not, and shipped it.We had two this past Winter that would just not suck, we tried every trick in the book. Try straddling the calf with the nipple in it's mouth, and gently rub it's throat, is it just biting the nipple and rolling it's tongue? KEEP TRYING, don't be a quitter. But if nothing works in a few days I'd get shed of it. [/QUOTE]
