[QUOTE="regolith, post: 849657, member: 9267"] Sounds like it might be premature. Have you fed it colostrum? Evidently it can't feed itself - you may need to milk the cow and offer it a bottle or tube it. Once it's fed, just observe to see if it gets any stronger. If it's still not standing and suckling 8 - 10 hours later you'll need to keep feeding it. It's possible the calf is too premature/disabled to be viable, but some come right after a few days. My calves stick their tongue out at me too; when they want their bottle. [/QUOTE]
