- In the event that you cannot get your baby calf to bottle feed, Dan has a great tip for getting the calf to latch on and start bottle feeding. NOTE: Never force milk replacer down your calf's throat. If the calf is not taking the bottle even after these tricks you will need to tube feed.
Dan you saved my calf’s life. Syrup and two fingers in the roof of the mouth. Total life saver!!! Thanks
Uncle Dan!! I think you should totally keep going with CZcams and add more videos! This one video was a huge hit and you have 82 subscribers!! I started my channel at the beginning of December in 2019 have like 14 videos and only 12 subscribers. You have already kicked off to a great start! I would love to watch more if you made more!
The syrup worked!!! Wish I had known that trick years ago! Thank you sir.
AMEN 🙏
Karo syrup was key I think for our calf. Thanks for idea. Had been tubing twice a day for 4 days. Wouldnt suck fingers let alone bottle. Let him go until noon before feeding. Started with finger in syrup then switched to bottle. Had to make nipple hole bigger but he finally took. Thank goodness. Much appreciate your help!
Thanks for the comment this is very helpful. The vets came twice to our farm to save a mom and her baby we had to put in our pen.
Darn we lost the momma at least she's not suffering anymore! the calf hasn't yet learned to suck my dad got the Karo syrup didn't work yet but the calf is super scared and now the whole heard wonders why she's in a pen balling for food & the mom!
@@brendaburrow3745 oh no. 😢I hate to hear that. You can always tube it to ensure it gets something in its belly. Lots of videos on how to do it. Hope you're able to get it sucking though. Good lick
@@the_sweetbear thanks we will keep trying luckily she is in the pen now
Putting syrup on your finger and tickling the top of the calfs mouth is a good idea, thank you. I have a new calf whose mother died and I will try your technique. Thank you for this video.
Thank you
I just found you and you only made one video?!? I was looking forward to seeing what you had in your 101 series. This video is thorough and to the point. Please consider continuing.
He's super smart talented and blessed
Awesome!!!! Thanks so much for the Karo syrup idea! Getting ready to give that a try!
Great video! No music to distract from the video.
Hi Dan. Great video and you take care of calf real good. Dan McCormack from Ireland.
Thanks
Thank you 🤠
They say the only thing dumber than a Swiss calf is the farmer trying to keep them alive.
Great information! And your baby is so cute!
Very helpful video, Although massaging his throat is only annoying the calf, and its important calves have access to fresh water, a bucket placed in the corner would do,
Thanks for making this video! I'm gonna be doing this next weekend and can use any tips!
Just ended up with 2 bottle babie bulls tonight thanks for the video
That was so cool, bro!
Thank you for sharing 🐮 😊
It helps if there's some touch contact with the (clean parts of the) calf's butt end. It mimics the momma cow licking his butt, which somehow wakes up the front end.
Danke guter Mann.Bitte seit gut zu den Tieren
Please how to make this milk 🥛
Will honey work also? I have a little baby cow at my grandfathers place that won't bottle feed right now. They're getting desperate.
I had one right now and its like that I have to feed him with milkreplacer
Anybody know how to get a young calf to suck? Can you slowly teach them with the Karo syrup? We sure do appreciate any tips or ideas thanks everyone!
Ich weiß wir alle haben gut reden.Aber bitte seit gut zu den Tieren
Hey I got a hold of a calf that is around 4 days old has only had a fourth of a bottle in it it is drinking water out of a dish do you have any suggestions? Should I still go ahead and tube it with being that old?
could you use maple syrup instead of karo?
Just did it a couple of nights ago with maple, didn't have Karo. That and the bigger nipple opening worked like a charm.
What syrup?
we just got one from out friend poor baby calf losted he's mom after she had him😭 I have to make him drink milk it's a lot of work😔
Salut .....
