[QUOTE="Alice, post: 358458, member: 3873"] I'd rather eat nails than try to bottle break a calf that's been on it's mother that long. I swear, there is nothing more frustrating. I wish I had a neat, never fail trick, and I don't. I've tried different nipples, I've straddled them and forced the bottle in the mouth and worked the jaws up and down (while getting beat half to death), you name it, I've tried it. One thing I haven't tried is the syrup on the nipple...and had I known about it or thought about it, I'd have tried that. It got to where I'd load them up the next sale day and take them back with the hopes that someone knew more about it than me and would have better luck.
