[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1225913, member: 7398"] The calf isn't sucking because it has 4 quarts of colostrum in its belly. Keep it warm and give it (the calf) a rest. Don't make it eat more because its gums are red. There's lots on these board about feeding and tubing problem calves take a read of those. Most colostrum and milk replacer feeds say only to give once every 12 hours. Many folks, including me, cut down the amount of dry as well (make it watery) to keep the calf hydrated, but also a tick hungry so it's motivated to eat. [/QUOTE]
