[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6916244, member: 63856"] Was having an interesting chat with a guy about this in cattle ^^^ he keeps horned cattle (biodynamic: the best cows have horns) and said the first thing a cow does is jab the calf in about the second-last rib, with the tip of her horn, and then calf gulps and this begins the suck reflex. I guess 'we' bred away their ability to do this? Short of kicking it in the scone, maybe a wee poke in the ribs with your thumb - I will hopefully get to try it out before I'm done. I made up a little rack to hold the bottles, back in the day we reared a heap of giveaway lambs, it hangs it a few inches off the floor on a good angle to crook their neck [/QUOTE]
