A nursing cow should be eating 50% more than what she normally eats when she's dry. Her diet should be high in calcium, phosphorus, protein, and energy. She should also have a constant access to water and mineral suitable for breeder cattle.

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.
