[QUOTE="sandywil90, post: 3622684, member: 14328"] Rule of thumb for colostrum. 10% of birthweight within 6 hours of good quality colostrum. Id be comfortable with feeding little and often, maybe use an oesophical tube that is quite soft, causing minimal stress to the calf. Try him on a teat at what ever opportunity you get, the sooner the better. Good idea to put a coat on which will keep the calf warm instead of him using his own energy reserves to keep warm! A little TLC and perseverance should do the trick.. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
