[QUOTE="Classyusa, post: 1798071, member: 39409"] I had to put a cow down today that has a 25 day old calf. I caught the calf last night and tried to get him to eat some calf starter and drink out of a bottle. He didn't want either. I tried rubbing the milk on his lips and he wasn't interested. I also tried putting honey on the nipple with no luck. This calf has been grazing and munching on hay with the herd since he was born.It seems like now that his mom is gone he only wants hay and grass. Can he survive on those? Or is my only hope to force feed him the milk replacer? [/QUOTE]
