[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 358553, member: 1509"] I might have missed this in the original post, but why does the calf need milk replacer? I have started a 2 week old calf & a 2 month old calf recently & both did fine. It definitely helps them to get a little hungry. Depending on your facilities you might straddle the calf in a corner as mentioned , or I have also straddled them in the squeeze (if yours has the room) at that age. It's just a bit easier to contain them & you can do it with less force. Sometimes if you have to manhandle them too much they won't even try. Don't worry, you'll get it. [/QUOTE]
