[QUOTE="Dee, post: 350649, member: 350"] I am going on day 3 with a dumb bull calf. Usually they are the big ones I have trouble with, and I usually have them going the next day. Not this one! And he was only #63. I think maybe a little early? I tubed him colostrum when he was 2 hrs old, and have been milking mom every four hours since then. (my milking skills suck!) On day 2 he figured out how to suck the bottle, but still has no clue with mom. I get a tit in his mouth and he takes a few sucks, looses the tit, then stands there like a dummy till I put it in his mouth again, or if I leave him he goes and lays down. I am getting, no, I AM frustrated! :help: Anything else I can try, or should I just keep at this the way I'm going? [/QUOTE]
