[QUOTE="Travis B., post: 360761, member: 4252"] I'm breaking an 18 day old calf right now, whose mom got out on the highway during a horrible thunderstorm and was hit by a pickup and killed. I've found the easiest way to break one is feed it a full bottle once a day for the first few days to make it hungry at each feeding. I know it isn't much but it keeps them hungry. When I feed it I just back it in a corner, straddle it and use the biting method. So far this one is taking it pretty good and is going to two bottles a day in the morning. Hope all comes out well with your calf. Travis Bryan [/QUOTE]
