[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9433"] Why would you assume the calf hasn't nursed? Has the mother got a poor udder, swing bag or baloon teats? If the udder is normal the calf has likely nursed. A new born calf that rejects milk from a bottle almost always has already nursed. If the cow has a bad udder then tube the calf if you really feel he hasn't nursed. Keep the tube to the left side of the calf's mouth and slowly push it into the stomach. Let the calf swallow or chew it's way down.
