I have a 2 month old beef calf that is bottle fed. I am trying to wean him and get him to eat grain from a bucket but he will only take it when I roll it into his mouth. Eats hay. Any suggestions?

Mix the grain in with the hay. And try leaving some to the side as well (only a few pounds though). Calves are naturally curious, and if you put it in a tub that he's never seen or smelled before, this may encourage him to eat the grain on his own.

How does a bucket conveyor work?
A bucket conveyor works by using buckets to scoop up material or grain, that is fed into a hopper. The bucket travels up the conveyor by a series of chains and pulleys, over the head sprocket and pulley, and dumps the material out of a discharge throat. The buckets continue down the conveyor to continue the cycle. This type of conveyor is used to till a silo with grain.
How do you get a one month old calf to eat after the mother died?
It's hard to tell what you're trying to ask because either you may be referring to feeding the calf roughage, or "eating" milk. The calf will be able to eat the roughage if it's hungry enough, as many a thrifty calf with intense curiousity (as is with most calves) will find the hay and grain to eat on its own. As for the milk, that's a different story. You will have a harder time getting a calf to drink from a bottle or bucket than one that is newborn because he will be very used to suckling from his momma but not from a bottle. Even the taste of the milk replacer isn't the same as the milk straight from his momma. Either way, you will have to restrain him, and try to get him to suckle from a bottle at first. You can't do it by yourself, as you will need someone to help you hold him while you teach him to accept the bottle or bucket. It will take a while for him to get used to it, so be persistant and don't give up.
