[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1560629, member: 22236"] I have a basic bottle for tubing. It was a pia to get any flow going. I poked a hole near the bottom, made sure the bottle was dry, and stuck some good tape over the hole. Once you get the tube down, feeling the tube going down the left side of the throat, you can pull the tape off and things go rather smoothly. Not having to fight the bottle, keeping the tube down the correct depth, holding the calf, etc. With help its easier, but I don't always have help. If you've got the calf sucking while cows in the chute, you are practically golden, given the cow is accepting the calf. If the calf is still weak you may have to put him on her in the chute a few more times, but I'd say you got this whipped, even then. [/QUOTE]
