[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 363604, member: 1258"] The idea of putting something the cow likes on a calf molasses, oats or in this case salt is because the cow will get close enough to the calf to lick it and maternal instinct may kick in. Put some mineral in with the cow (if you haven't already done so) and if you want to use oats or something that she likes but is not necessary for her to be healthy. She hasn't killed it, lets it drink, hang in there, sounds like she'll proably take it. Patience can be a hard thing to have but it's necessary. [/QUOTE]
