Subject: RE: Bottle Calves Not Drinking


East Central, Nebraska
i only feed a handful per year but have never had good luck with a normal nipple from tractor supply or wherever so i always make the hole alot bigger, enough for a steady drip when you turn it over, don't drown the calf but when they figure it out after a couple days they drink a bottle in a few minutes. I always force the calft mouth open and give them a taste of the milk and if they don't suck come back a couple hours later.
