It's possible that the calf is premature. I've had a few premeies over the years who have not developed a sucking reflex. Sometimes had to feed them for days with a stomach tube (and then still lose some).

1. Has he had colostrum? If not and he's over 24 hours old not much chance to save him no matter what.

2. Best 'tool' I have to save calves is a stomach drenching tube. I order them from Jeffer's but if you need one asap can buy from most vets.

Good luck.
