[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1213230, member: 9267"] How much do you give in that first feed Till-Hill? I confess I don't much like how it looks written down but it's not too far off what I'd do. Usually a calf that comes in and won't drink at the next scheduled feed has an obvious belly full of colostrum - four to six litres or more - and in that instance I'll wait another twelve hours for it to get hungry enough to suck. Will tube if I don't know that it's had much of a first feed, but I avoid tubing if at all possible as it creates problems if done with healthy calves, in my opinion. Though it can save the life of a weak one. [/QUOTE]
