I never had too much trouble with calves learning to drink out of a bowl waterer. I had a funny/costly thing happen with the first Mir frost free waterer I had. It had the ball in it that the cows had to push down to get a drink. When you put "new" cows in it had a screw that would push the ball off center so that they would learn that there was water in it. I had one out in a pasture field. The old cows had been on it for months. I got a new bull. I never even gave the waterer a thought. He saw the cows drinking but must not have been able to figure out to push down the ball. He did figure out that if he butted it real hard it would slop water out and he would then drink it. The waterer only lasted through a few waterings being butted by a three thousand pound bull. He totally destroyed that waterer. I found it out by seeing some of the calves rolling the ball around in the pasture. That ball is still in that pasture and the calves still play with it. That has been fifteen years ago or more.
