[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1643299, member: 24027"] It takes a lot of persistence to get an older calf to latch on to the bottle. You may want to try backing it into a corner & straddling. Molasses on the nipple. Goat nipple. Stimulate the behind with a damp washcloth, just like mama would do. Stick your finger in its mouth, see if it latches on then switch to the nipple. Put the nipple in its mouth, hold it in place & stroke its throat. I would drench a calf before I let it work it out for themselves. And eventually, it will probably rob off another cow. [/QUOTE]
