[QUOTE="Farmgirl, post: 714346, member: 832"] We have had good luck with weaners (blabs). Yeah, some calves will learn to suck with it in and sometimes a calf will lose it. We put them in and leave cow and calf together. Almost no bawling. Usually it is the cow wanting the calf to suck rather than the calf bawling. We have had better luck with the kind that have a wing-nut than the one piece ones. Check with Jeffers or Valley Vet. Calf may need to wear it 6-8 weeks. Also, if you can fix a creep feeder for the calf he will be far less inclined to want to suck. Calf with plenty of feed is easy to forget mama. My 2 cents, Farmgirl [/QUOTE]
