Patience, just patience. Haha. Dairy here so we do it all the time. Its really not usually to bad, most take to it quickly, i bottle them the whole way till weaning. If the calf will drink the colostrum replacer on its own that would be way better in my opinion. Tubing for me is a very last resort, bottles and nipples can be cleaned easily a tube, once used, will never be clean enough again.
