[QUOTE="gipper, post: 165762, member: 3074"] If you have a squeeze shoot, put moma in there twice a day; morning and afternoon. Get some of moma's milk on your finger and place it in the calf's mouth. When the calf starts to suck your finger slip a teat in his mouth with your finger. Keep this up until he will nurse moma without the finger trick; might be a couple of days. I would not give baby a bottle before you have tried for at least 30 minutes to get him to nurse moma at each feeding. Once he is nursing agressively with moma in the shoot, try it without her confined. If she kicks at baby, hobble her and tie her head with a halter and rope with just enough slack to stand up and lay down. Keep her tied with feed and water until she stops trying to discourage the calf. This has worked for me in the past such in the case of a cow abandoning one of the twins. GOOD LUCK. [/QUOTE]
