[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1783601, member: 39373"] That calf should be on feed already. Need a bit more info though. Like was said above... In addition, what's he weigh? If without other cows to rob off of... Pen him up. NO bottles for 24-48 hrs. Don't give in until he starts eating. Give him some fresh feed and fresh flake of hay. He will eat! Some take longer than others to get to eating. I've had a bunch went straight to feed after the downed their bottles. Some I've had to shove feed in their mouths for weeks. And finally the pen and cutting off the bottle. Once they get to eating, I usually cut em to one bottle a day with feed for 1 bag of milk... [/QUOTE]
