Subject: RE: I never to seem to have any luck grafting calves on...


What I do is put them in the squeeze and let the calf suck. then while i got the cow in i put a halter with a long rope on her. I then let her out into a 12 by 12 pen and tie her up to one corner with the halter. Then once the calf is hungry put him up close to her and it will suck. If she kicks at him throw a rope on one back leg and tie it to the opposite corner of the pen so she can't kick. Then once the calf is done just tie the back rope up loose so she can move around. Then all you have to do is tighten that rope up when you want him to suck. This has never failed me and it usually only takes about 3-4 days. The longest one was 7days.
