Tricks for getting heifer to bond with calf

    Almost lost another calf this morning. Got him out eventually but heifer took off and has little interest in him.


    Born at 10. He was very weak. Have tubed him 1.5l at 2 and will give him another 1.5 in a little while. After trying to get him standing all day he is finally staggering a little bit.


    Any trick on how do I get her interested in him? Have covered him in salt and nuts and she did lick it off him but just about. I don’t see him sucking himself and she is difficult
