I have a stud Red Poll bull calf which was delivered on the property today by caeserian operation as the calf was very large in the shoulders and hips. <br>Cow does show a mothering instinct but it does not appear that the calf has drunk Colostrum after 3 hours in the yards with the cow or is even making an attempt to drink.<br>He sucked on the vets thumb when he was delivered but does not appear to show any interest in the udder even when I put the cow in the bail and try and force him to drink.<br>Just let him go and keep him warm in a shed near our cattle yards with the cow ?. Buggered if I know with this one, have never struck a calf that doesnt like milk ? Any other tricks ? Ive tried milking the cow out a bit (but not too much) and put milk on the teats and still no go !<br>Help !.<br>He is a very good bull calf so I dont want to lose him.<br>Your help would be gratefully accepted,<br>ANTHONY PETCH<br>'PENTWYN'<br>AUSTRALIA.
