[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1560509, member: 27490"] There are good YouTube videos but if you don't watch one, I will second Butch on working the esophageal tube down toward the left side of the pharynx. At the back of the pharynx is the opening to the trachea called the glottis, in reality, it is not easy to get the tube through the glottis because it has a flap over it called the epiglottis. Thus, it is not easy to make a mistake, the tube wants to go the correct way. I will add, if you can milk her and the calf will not take a bottle, you can tube the cows own colostrum down the esophagus. [/QUOTE]
