[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9434"] The ball at the end of the tube is there so that you can feel the tube going down the calf's throat. You will want to push the tube down the CALF'S left. You should be able to feel the ball going down. If you can't feel it, or if you are feeling resistance, like the tube's not going down good, pull up and try again. You may also want to lubricate the tube with water, or some other water solyuable (sp) product. And also, if the calf is coughing, you are most likely in the lungs..some people don't attatch the milk to the tube until after they're sure of not being in the lungs..if you try doing it like that, just put the tube down the throat, and once it's down, listen/feel for any breathing, air, coughing ect. and then attach if you don't.
