[QUOTE="josh90, post: 663454, member: 12098"] How old are they, and what breed? If there younger I would feed 1 quart 3-4 times daily. I tried feeding younger calves the 2 quarts per feeding, and thats a huge mistake untill there about 2-3 weeks old, or atleast it was for me. I would wait about 8-12hrs depending on how much you gave him, to give electrolytes. But electrolytes are a life saver. I would try my best to get him to suck the bottle, I would use tubing as a last resort. Look at these two links: [url=http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49811]viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49811[/url] [url=http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=57446]viewtopic.php?f=19&t=57446[/url] [/QUOTE]
