It's always in the neck. But use a smaller needle for calves than you would for cows (preferably 1" 18 g needle instead of a 1.5" or 2" 16 g needle)

When is the earliest age you can sell a calf at auction?
A calf can be sold when he is only a day or two old. But this is highly unrecommended, because of the high stress these baby calves go through, which can lead to sickness, injury and even death. A calf that has been weaned off the bottle at 3 months of age has a better chance of surviving his ordeal at the stockyards than a two day-old calf. Six month old calves that have been weaned off their mothers have an even better chance than 3-month old or two-day old calves do. So it all depends on when you want to sell, if you have the heart to let them go.

How can you help a day old cow suckle from its mother?
First restrain the momma cow in a headgate or squeeze. Then get the calf up to it's momma's udder, and try to squirt some milk on its nose and mouth. Open the calf's mouth and insert the teat and help the calf to suck by squirting milk into the calf's mouth. You may have to keep doing this for a while until the calf gets it and starts suckling on its own. If the calf is too weak to suckle, you will have to milk out the cow and tube-feed the calf.
How do you tell the age of your calf?
The most accurate way to tell the age of your calf is by looking at his front teeth. A newborn calf will have no teeth; a week old calf will only have maybe one or two teeth that have popped up already; a 1 month old calf will have all 8 lower incisors already.
