[QUOTE="dun, post: 58791, member: 34"] Cant or wont take a bottle? With calves that have sucked the cow it's frequently hard to get them on a bottle, but if it will suck on your fingers you can generally get them broke to drinking from a bucket. Get it started on your fingers and lower them into the bucket. Gradually remove your fingers. With straight bottle feeding, a lot of patience and kind of pumping the ilk into it's mouth by working it's jaws, or holding it's nose shyt so that it swallows (I've heard that one but never tried it). You might want ot try a different sized nipple or one that is softer till it gets the hang of it. dun [/QUOTE]
