The calf's survival rate will decrease significantly if it doesn't get its colostrum within 1 or 2 hours after birth. If you haven't given the calf colostrum since birth and have waited for ten hours, you will have quite a fight on your hands to try to keep the little critter alive. See your vet about what you can do to get him suckling again, and good luck.

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.

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!
