What can I give a weak calf whose mother dried up and she doesn't want to suck?

If the cow has dried up already, you may have a calf that is close to death in your hands. However you must try to save it. Give it powdered colostrum mixed with water (whatever the directions say on the package), and tube-feed it to the calf. Give the colostrum as often as your local veterinarian recommends, which may be every two to three hours. Good luck!

Get it in a warm dry place after it has been born and after you have ensured the calf is alive. Then bottle feed it with colostrum for the first 24 to 36 hours, then slowly wean it of colostrum to replace it with milk replacer. Do this only if the newborn calf is an orphan and you cannot find a serrogate mother to accept it.
