Hi Paul & All, Aug 7, 2006
It has been a few years, but I recall teaching (newborn ?) calves
how to drink from a pail by sticking the two middle fingers in their
mouth, as a substitute teat, and shoving their head into a pail of
cow-temperature milk. After a few minutes of drinking, by sucking milk
around the fingers, they are able to drink directly from a pail.
Is that essentially the technique that you refer to ?
