[QUOTE="Kscattle, post: 997101, member: 17143"] Won't the o-no-more cover up the scent of the milk? I thought that stuff just had salt in it to make the cow lick it off, then her scent is on the calf? I've used that stuff once with no luck but for other reasons. I've also heard of putting vanilla extract on calfs back so she licks it off. Also be weary of sale barn babies, those place are full of bacteria for scours, etc. I'd look for a dairy calf or find another neighbor with an orphan and buy from the individual. Might cost more but saves headaches. X2 on head catch to draft calf but it takes lots of patients. Tie a leg back and put calf on/ repeat as necessary. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
