I have had two calves this week, and it seemed to take them several hours to figure out how nurse. On one, a friend of mine who has a lot of cows, came over and we gave it colostrum replacer with a bag and tube. It is doing fine now. The other one was born last evening, and I could not tell that it had nursed by midnight, so I went to bed very concerned. This morning it was standing in the correct position trying to nurse, so I think he may be doing ok. I just wonder how often you guys with cows try to help out with this. I don't remember from my youth ever really helping any of them, except orphans, and we had a lot of cows.
