[QUOTE="Beacake, post: 809214, member: 15500"] Some calves are just stubborn and seem absolutely bottle stupid. The moving jaws and tongue everywhere give me the idea that she's not trying to suck, just chew and mash the teat end. They have to figure out it doesn't work that way. Have you got her to suck on your fingers? Rub the top of the inside of their mouth to get a real suck reflex, and then switch em up quick for the bottle, or squirt some milk in there. Be persistent :) some can be difficult. [/QUOTE]
