[QUOTE="mybubba, post: 882638, member: 17670"] I am only new to dealing with cattle and 2 weeks ago one of the mummas had a bull calf. mumma was doing her best but she has bottle teats and also had no milk so we were forced to remove the calf ( which took us 2 days cause mumma wouldnt let us close). the calf is a brahman cross and he refuses to suck a bottle or drink from a pail. he shows no interest at all in his feeds and is still wobbly on his feet. we ended up cutting a small piece out of the end of the bottle teat so the milk would dribble in his mouth. this proved successful and he still wont suck but he does swallow the milk. the problem is we have to hold him under his chin and your hand gets covered in milk. now the hair has all fallen out where we hold him. the skin is not raw but pink and not dry or scaly and he his no scourers but has had a slight discharge from his nose (which seems to be clearing up). is the hair loss normal and would it only be from us having our hand there?
