[QUOTE="Arkieman, post: 640158, member: 5706"] Need some opinions. I have a bull calf that is a week old. I noticed from the start he was real deliberate when he would nurse. I thought he was just a little slow. Well tonight I put out a little rice bran/csm to get them up where I could check them out. I noticed the cow had milk dripping from 2 teats. I thought this will give me an opportunity to watch him nurse. Well they finished eating and the calf started to nurse. The calf will nurse for about 5-6 seconds and then his mouth sort of slips off the teat and he'll stand there almost like he's fallen asleep! I watched for about 15-20 minutes while the other calves were gettin after it, there he was pokin around. He's off a heifer, but it looks like she's doin her part. I will also add that he did have the squirts. Overall, he looks pretty healthy. He'll run around and kick and buck w/ the other calves... Anybody got any suggestions?? Thanks in advance Todd [/QUOTE]
