[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 41119, member: 60"] I raise calves in groups. I get around the sucking on each other by tethering each calf for feeding and leaving them tethered out of reach of each other for about an hour after each feeding. It takes that hour for the sucking reflex to cease. If they have access to each other while that sucking reflex is still active, they'll suck on each other all day (and night). I stopped the urine drinking by providing loose salt -- the calves don't seem to be able to get enough from a block. Ann B [/QUOTE]
