[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 517257, member: 6198"] I would give a couple of shots of an anti inflam for the swelling in the tongue. It sounds like the momma had troubles birthing and they sold the calf. 115# can be a new born. Keep doing what you are doing and hopefully it will pay off. What type of milk replacer are you using? 20/20/20 is the best. We had a calf that needed a little supplement cause it's momma was a heifer and had not fully come into her milk. I had some left over replacer from last year. Not remembering it was the cheap kind, soy based (bought for reasons i will not go into :oops: ). Calf fought like the dickens to suck. Once we realized we bought the good stuff and it took the bottle no problem. If your calf had a suck of the real stuff before it got sent down the road, might be difficult to get it to suck if it is the cheap stuff. The grain we used was designed for baby calves. High in what ever it was they needed [/QUOTE]
