[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 403591, member: 539"] Calves learn to eat by mimicking their mothers. You might consider sticking a small amount of whatever grain you are using in his mouth so he gets the taste for it. Are you using a grain mix that has molasses in it? If not, try that. Another option would be to try a pelleted feed that has licorice flavoring - sounds ridiculous, but it works! I've used it quite a few times with calves that did not want to transition to solid food with great success, and we used it regularly to transition weaning calves to only solid food. Once he is eating the pelleted feed, start incorporating the grain into it. [/QUOTE]
