Assistive Methods for Calves That Won't Suckle
Under normal circumstances, a calf will suckle from the cow immediately after birth. However, some weak calves may not be able to suckle, and in such cases assistance is necessary. The training method is as follows: first, squeeze a few drops of milk from the cow onto a clean finger and let the calf suck the finger, then guide it to the cow's teat to help it suckle the mother's milk directly.
