[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1276551, member: 17956"] Just a normal delivery I guess. I had her down to calve, and she did. Kept watching her bag like I always do, and I didn't think it had sucked. Gave it colustrum in the field, and kept a watch still no sucking. Brought it to the house, and it just never would suck. Finally wore out my calf feeder on it, a couple of days ago. The bag, not the part you stick down em. Bought 2 after that, I just didn't like them as much. Seemed hard on the calf. The other didn't seem to cause him any stress. I guess I should have done something this morning. Hind sight is always 20/20 though. By my thinking, it just was t warnted. Nose was wet, mouth was warm, it was just a little "off". If you saw the calf, you'd never think a thing was wrong with it. Run, jumped, kicked, the whole nine yards. When he went down, he went fast. I just never saw anything to beat it. Calf could drink water out of a bucket, and did. Calf would eat grain, if you put it in his mouth. I guess it could swallow, it just was not going to suck. I'll put this one in my things I'll never forget column, and hope for brighter days. [/QUOTE]
