[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 205956, member: 1132"] holly heifer - good to hear most are doing well & that this was a valuable learning experience, albeit an expensive one. If this other weak one is nursing but might not be getting enough milk (I think I am trying to read between the lines here), I would say supplement with a bottle rather than tube (stress & the opportunity of getting down the wrong pipe). If the calf has some suck response but it is weak, open the hole in the nipple so it nearly dripples out rather than forcing the calf to "work for the milk". Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
